WITH reference to the letter (LT, September 4) by Coun Steve Radford, leader of Liverpool’s Liberal Party and headed ‘Return to your party, Liberals’, I feel entitled to ask just what is going on?
If the Liberal Party as a separate entity to the LibDems is exhorting like-minded liberal- thinking people to leave the LibDems and reform the traditional Liberal Party, I am all in favour. It’s clear that no right-minded person could do what the LibDems have done to their own voters. It’s one thing to spin but quite another to turn the entire manifesto on its head and agree with everything the Tories say (I am ashamed to say that my own LibDem MP was one of the first to advise Clegg to join the Tories). I know I’m just a ordinary man in the street but I do vote and I can speak and hear; and I listen avidly to what people like myself are saying. They are not pleased.
If you do reform the Liberal Party, you will at least gain some credibility back. At this moment, not many LibDems can claim credibility of any type.
How can you believe the word of someone who asks you to vote for a series of policies then immediately drops those policies at the mere whiff of power and adopts the policies you fought against at the election?
K ROYLE (Mr), Wordsworth Street, Burnley.
