The Tories are newly organized with a refreshed, if not new leader. The Libdems should be taking the fight right back to them, challenging them for the right to be the official opposition party.
Instead the Tories are regaining the limelight, the summer long talk of the ascendancy of the LibDems is now forgotten and all I hear is what the Leader of the Conservative party has to say on an issue. I know that the Libdems must be getting their fair crack of the whip, but theirs is not the voice I'm hearing. If this is the case and I'm a wavering Labour voter towards them, then this is not a good sign.
So they have 18 months to make an impact and really challenge labour, there is plenty of meat to feast on in the recent Queen's speech, so lets see some activity and retain three party politics, rather than returning to the two party world of the 1980s.

I totally agree with the comments made. I am a young voter who hates the torie party and became supportive to the lib dems. They have good policies and views yet they do not seem to be making much of a fight. This has disapointed me because during the passed year their support was up to 30 percent in most opinion polls. Now it is quickly falling. So with this in mind they can do well if they put some effort into it. By being more forward thinking, speaking out more and promoting themselves through advertisment, media and cachy campaigns they could do well.
How funny, I've been saying this even before Michael Howard became Tory Leader.
I think that a lot of young voters would vote Lib Dem because they're so much more down to earth, share opinions on most important matter and their leader is a moral and clear thinker.
I was even going to go as far as writing to them to get them to pull their finger out...but now I've aired my thought on the internet, I feel better! ;-)
