I voted Liberal Democrat, but does that make me a Liberal Democrat? I don’t know the answer to my own question, which is why I am posing it to the world. Not that I expect a definitive answer, but you’re quite welcome to try, dear reader!

I agree with Nick, do you agree with Nick? Nick Clegg and the Liberal Democrats are in dreamland this weekend after a huge post-debate surge for the LibDems. Will they be able to keep this momentum up until the election and will it translate into a hung parliament? (Or a Liberal Democrat government, dare we dream!?) It all remains to be seen, but it has certainly turned what looked like a boring election into a very interesting one. As Nick Clegg himself put it, “all bets are off.” And so they are as all polls including youGov show a very strong showing from the “third party.”

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has a parliamentary democracy, which means that Government is voted into power by the people, to act in the interests of the people. The Westminster Parliament is in fact the oldest parliamentary democracy in the world.
