"Those who voted Lib Dem because they like the idea of 16-year-olds being in porn films can expect to be among the first people to be let down by Kennedy." – the Monkey.

There’s a serious point attached to this: the Lib Dems are clearly aware that next time round, people and press will actually be focusing significantly on their policies (and outrageously slandering them, naturally). The post-election policy review, although not the most honest move ever made, is absolutely necessary for the party to continue gaining votes from the illiberal parties next time round.
