There is a new (or new to me) system on Google called Google Moderator see http://www.google.com/moderator/#16/e=4333 which appears to allow you to ask Vince Cable anything, so I've just posted the following...
| How will you roll back the unnecessary attacks on personal liberties that Labour have introduced or planned under the guise of "protecting us" eg ID Cards, DNA databases, criminalisation of images of consenting adults, CCTV and ANPR etc? |
If we can get enough votes, we may get an answer...

Voted It is not a case of finding the lifestyle or the lifestyle finding you, but realising the lifestyle is within you and letting it out!

Can't see how asking a minority party MP who appears to only give opinions on financial matters a question starting "How will you roll back ..." a bit presumptious about what influence the Liberal Democrats will ever have on UK politics ^Thunder^

Indeed, that's a good thing - although it reminds me on how issues to do with sexuality or censorship are often ignored from more general "civil liberties" campaign. I feel that they are very much related though (it gives the power to lock people up if a naughty image turns up on their computer - which may just be something they received in an email years ago, or one illegal image accidently downloaded among legal ones, or something sent to them as a joke - even if it turns out there is not sufficient evidence against them for what you originally wanted to prosecute them for).

Lib Dems had ministers in both Scottish and Welsh governments for a few years and if we get a hung parliament in May their votes for individual liberty will be important.

The Libdems are not pro liberty, examples are gun bans and anti fox hunting and there are others. They like the restof the pick'n'choose liberals in Parliament would wheno faced with enough "public outrage" would soon fall in line. Not to difficult when you are not a PRINCIPLED liberal/libertarian.

I suppose that depends whether your idea of liberty is the ability to be a firearm homicide statistic and to torture animals.

One day when your in jail after voting for a illiberal part rather than a liberal one you will have time to look up Liberty in the dictionary to find out what it really means.
Of course your idea of liberty would be making it a fair fight between burglers and home owners. Oh and banning hunting while allowing fishing.
Nice trolling btw.
This was funny, but the neighbour didn't think so.
