I'm curious as to why you believe that the Lib Dems "sit on the fence till they see which way the wind is blowing then make a statement", "don't seem to have the ability to make there own decisions", and why they remind you "of the actions of Italy in WW2"?
For me, personally, the Lib Dems are the only one of the three main parties to consistently match the majority of my views on the things I care about or think are important.
Off the top of my head, some of the major issues I agreed with their stand (not fence sitting) on are:
The Iraq War - voted against.
Tuition Fees - voted against.
Top-Up Fees - voted against.
Foundation Hospitals - voted against.
ID Cards - voted against.
The Dark Lord's Digital Economy Bill - voted against.
They also have a habit of opposing New Labour's endless authoritarian attacks on Civil Liberties.
I know you have no intention of voting Lib Dem, & I have no wish to "convert" you into doing so, but at least read up on their
policies before claiming that all they ever do is "sit on the fence" and "not make their own decisions".
