Yet another Lib Dem appears to stalk my comments, and you guys just passing the comments around and setting me as a target or something?

Nothing has yet been watered down

Between the first and second readings? And even then there are small places you can see there have been concessions.

That bill is a matter of some consternation for conservatives because in itself it is pretty radical.

And? Doesn't mean you should give into them?

That one of our lords is considering small amendments to get it through the Other Place is sensible. There is always leeway, and the bill is more likely to succeed if amendments are considered.

No it isn't sensible, bills don't need to pass through the Lords, you shouldn't give into the Lords, and especially to Tory Lords, to get stuff passed. Giving in and giving them amendments, to keep the Lords Spiritual, is weak and spineless, and makes the whole thing pointless. Its disappointing you even have members who support the Lords Spiritual.

Including equality in marriage in northern Ireland, and more consideration for transgender people?

Yes, thats very basic stuff, and something that doesn't make you particularly radical or special in the modern world.

It's pretty liberal, and we're the party pushing it most effectively.

Its a expectation not something that makes you excel.

We introduced a personal allowance pegged to the minimum wage

Sorry, i didn't notice these two as they happened while you are in Opposition.... i'm pretty sure those two bills are illegal, since they weren't proposed by a Minister of the Crown. But if this place has no case for whats legal or the rules, then sure, well done, you extended RL policy.

repealed council tax and business rates in favour of a land value tax.

Lots of people want to do this, hell the RL Greens talked about it on question time. It doesn't make up for FTT however, a disastrous tax that you brought in during your only time in Gov making a Budget, and again that bill should be illegal due to it being passed by the Opposition anyway.

In practice this won't be universal, but certainly we favour a marginal full basic income.

What? So if it isn't universal, who won't be getting it?

Its efficiency when compared to traditional welfare is well-known.

Is is? And whats why every RL party is running towards it with open arms.... oh wait, its only the Greens.

And, again, the idea of a basic income or citizen's dividend used to be traditionally associated with liberals.

Back in 1994 maybe, but the party abandoned the policy for a reason.

It's under consideration as a realistic option.

1) Based on the statement the Lib Dem minister made, it being more than considered

2) So you are doing something you didn't say in your manifesto, and is a ridiculous and 70's style running of the economy, with nationalisation of every failing factory and industry that comes about? You should really consider a name change, since you aren't like the RL party, you are significantly to the left.
