I would like to express my support for Joe Henthorn’s article ‘In Spite of Popular Opinion, I Still Agree with Nick’ published in the last edition of SCAN. Joe has reminded us that the situation the Liberal Democrats are in isn’t as bad as some people want to make out. 75% of Lib Dem policy is being implemented during this parliament, and Lib Dem influence has forced hardline Conservatives to retract their potential ferocity on issues such as Europe, justice and public spending. I am proud to support a party that is prepared to go into government and implement its policies, over one who simply panders to voters’ desires by whinging from the sidelines (as the Lib Dems used to do). I say well done to Joe for sticking with Nick, as I shall be doing.
