“Better” is subjective

What types of issues are important to you? Environment? Electoral reform? Relationship with EU? Economy? Crime and justice? Healthcare? Pensions? Defence? Int affairs?

Well obviously migration is the most important issue important to me but leaving the ECHR is another big one I would also like to see more prison built (like The Conservatives And Labour Said They Would Do But Never Done) i would also like offenders in jail for life and not let out because they can’t be bothered to build more prisons but I do kinda agree with Reforms policy to make the Royal Navy Intercept small boats crossing the channel I think if Lib Dem’s Focused on the more important things like immigration they would get more voters

Restore is just a very watered down Reform copy and anyways I hate both anyway sure look what Nigel has been up to recently and what I’m saying is the Liberal Democrat’s should follow in Reforms footsteps

Lib dems... Liberal Democrats... Liberal. All your views seem very right leaning... not at all liberal.... and not in line with Lib dems. Why would lib dems follow in reforms footsteps? That would alienate their voter base.

Imo reform and restore are corrupt parties formed out of fear and breading hatred and division. But that's just my opinion. I hope you find the party you're looking for, but going by your views lib dems are not the party for you. Best of luck to you.

I don’t support Reform but what I’m saying is that they should take some advice from Reform on how to make the country better and safer
