1) They're against the war in Iraq - it's not clear what long-term principle this represents. 2) They'd abolish tuition fees and council tax - both good policies, but hardly radical. 3) Raise (some) pensions. I think this is what Americans call a no-brainer... 4) Environmental protection - fair enough. That's four unique policies out of their ten "top priorities", "ten reasons to vote Liberal Democrat". They're not bad policies, but calling them radical just shows how timid and unimaginative British politics has become. Quote:
