  • Raising the national allowance is cutting tax, which the tory's would do anyway and have done again since. How did the lib dems reduce the deficit? Or do you mean helped with 'austerity'? Pushing renewable agenda - maybe, but only because they were left in charge of the environmental agency. It's small fry compared to their agreeing to triple tuition fees just weeks after going round as many student unions and promising to scrap fees.

    Their manifesto said lots of things, and I think the years since the coalition demonstrate what a moderating influence they really were.

    Yes but some are much more influential at getting people to vote for you and some are highlighted more than others during the campaign.
