Lib Dems - whats it all about

[RG Four Litre]

Having read all of the scare stories on here about Gordons revenge and him landing another stint for Labour. Whats the deal with Lib Dems, are they actually the same as labour but just another leader? or are they labout with a more gribley/swampy twist?

With the surge in their popularity, its would be nice to know what there all about? (and I dont mean their poliices - trident etc, but what they are really about behind the scenes so to speak.....
