Drugs

Hooray! This is why I like the Lib Dems. They've just voted at their spring conference to decriminalise use for all drugs (even heroin) on the basis that it doesn't help. And they'll consider going further on soft drugs. Bless.

Err, thats what I said (from a different perspective). It's easy for them to say it as they wont have to do it, so its a posture for influence rather than a serious policy, IYSWIM? :o)

I'm not sure that's an or. If they genuinly would do it if they got in (and I think they would) then it's a serious policy on their part whether or not they are actually likely to get in but it is also useful as it brings it into the debate and forces the other parties to consider their positions on this issue
