Liberal Party NEC Statement – The Independent Group
#5
Much has changed since the formation of the Independent Group/Change UK and its eventual and catastrophic absorbing of members into the Liberal Democrats. As a Lib Dem candidate and then councillor at the time I was horrified to see people joining the Lib Dems whose voting records helped impose hardship upon many people and who possessed not an ounce of liberalism of any strand. For me personally this was as bigger betrayal as the Lib Dems role in coalition as once again it sold the heart of any founding principle, turning the preamble into a fairy story.

Regarding the SDP, and having compared the policies of the Liberal Party to their reincarnation, I feel there is not many areas of similarity. I do agree with Brummie, there is very little socialist or left leaning in the present-day SDP, with the party firmly being on the centre right of politics.
