At a cross-roads

There is definitely no way I am voting Labour next time around. I
cannot, in good conscience, vote for this party and it's leader.
Whilst I have been disappointed by Labours delivery of policies and
it's abondonement of government reform I am most perturbed by recent
events in Afghanistan and Iraq. I accept that some response to
the events of 9/11 was required but what has transpired is not
it. I did not give Blair/Labour a mandate for the actions they
have taken, nor do I support those actions.
As a child of the Thatcher years I still bitterly resent the conservative party: Listening to Michael Howard & co., they have not changed. Asylum island? Might as well be next to cloud cuckoo land. I hope Britain has not become so frightened and narrow minded as to hand our government over to such people.
Of the mainstream parties that leaves only the Liberal Democrats. I guess I am going to have to take them more seriously and learn whether they are a party I could join. I am interested to see how they are engaging with people, what use they are making of weblogs, and how they are encouraging community around their policies. I guess I'm looking to see whether they are awake to what is happening in the US right now with Dean and others.
Anyone know any active lib dems?
