Have the Lib Dems lost the plot?

Some very sensible analysis by the Independent's Steve Richard, thou I think the Liberal Democrats and Ming Campbell should be rather concerned that the Independent is questioning them given that the Indy is the Lib Dems chief cheerleader normally. Personally I agree with Richard's main points Ming Campbell has done well on a policy level and on Iraq the problem is not enough of the media is listening plus he has struggled in PMQ's, essentially he needs better PR but that's modern politics. Polls etc often underestimate the Lib Dems, I think they will do well at the next General Election, no matter how often they are written off in the right wing media, but they must sharpen up there PR act.

Lib Dems must sharpen message on crime, says Campbell
