A Quote by Jo Swinson

One of the things I love most about Lib Dem members is that for all our policy disagreements, we agree on why we're Lib Dems in the first place.

In the 1990s, the Lib Dems won a string of byelections at the expense of struggling Conservative governments. Christchurch, Ribble Valley and Eastbourne went straight back to the Tories at the next general election, but the Lib Dems held their later byelection gains - Eastleigh, Newbury and Romsey - in at least two subsequent general elections.

Michael Ashcroft

I'm not an ad-libber. If I'm asked to ad-lib, I can ad-lib forever and it's really fun to do that, but I find that well-written scripts are put together very carefully. Once you start to ad-lib and add words to sentences, there's a slacking that happens. When it's good writing, it's taut. I'm not judging people who do ad-lib.

James Marsters

I will go out of this world feet first with my Lib Dem membership card in my pocket.

Charles Kennedy

No one with a bad tie is getting my vote. Some Lib Dems wear the most shockingly awful ties.

Freddie Fox

My first vote was for a communist in east London when I was a medical student. But I've voted Tory, Labour and Lib Dem in my time.

Robert Winston

The Lib Dems are such terrible ditherers.

Bill Bailey

I am an electoral reformer and an ex-Lib Dem.

Andrew Adonis, Baron Adonis

The great advantage of the Lib Dems is precisely that no-one knows what they stand for.

Tony Blair

What the Lib Dems have failed to do is offer any meaningful agenda for government or for power.

Lucy Powell

I joined the Lib Dem party at the Freshers' Fair at the London School of Economics.

Jo Swinson

The Lib Dems are not just empty. They are a void within a vacuum surrounded by a vast inanition.

Boris Johnson

Bisexuals are really attracted to senior Lib Dems - as they are both a man and a great big pussy.

Frankie Boyle

Our tired, old politics is tearing at the seams. The Lib Dems have returned to their local roots, just as a more pluralist politics is desperately needed.

Layla Moran

I got a call from the Lib Dems. They wanted to upgrade their databases and voter targeting. So, I combined working for them with studying for my degree.

Christopher Wylie

The Tories and the Lib Dems talk about social mobility, but, short of winning the lottery, the only way to guarantee young people from all backgrounds the opportunity to do better and to raise aspirations is through education.

Lucy Powell

Although there's a lot of focus on the Lib Dems, we need to keep our eyes on the far right of the Tories, who I suspect will become increasingly impatient in their appetite for tax cuts, deregulation and shrinking the state even further.
