All the talk a while back was of the need for the LibDems to find a 'narrative'. The problem is that not that we have a lack of narrative (the last paragraph above sums it up nicely), it's just that our elected members have a bad habit of ignoring it. The patio-heaters thing is just too hideous for words. Correct. All the talk a while back was of the need for the LibDems to find a ‘narrative’.

I was thinking last night that Parliament needs someone who will stand up and point out that so many of the areas in which the state interferes it should not be doing so... When our representatives get up and talk about banning things or using the state to coerce people into a position which it 'for their own good' they do the party massive damage. Of course, this gets more exposure in the media than the good work done by some representatives in working against abuse of power by the state... Unsurprisingly I agree.
