 | 'The party in most need of help is the Liberal Democrat Party. It is now suffering from a loss of identity through association with Labour. Liberal Democrats are being used by Labour, with remarkable ease, as the fall guys. Each of the other parties must be eyeing the Liberal Democrat vote greedily.' James Mitchell, Professor of politics at Sheffield University, in the Herald, 28 th June 2000. |  |
