“For some reason Liberal Democrats is shouting out to me.”
“What is that group of mammals in your garden?”
“Oh, that’s just some Liberal Democrats.”

Get the Liberal Democrats mug.Currently the third largest political party in the United Kingdom, who most people would vote for, if they thought they could win.
They are without a doubt the best party in British Politics, it's just a shame they haven't been elected yet, because clearly they'd sort out all of the problems if they were!

The established, institutionalized set of beliefs that define mainstream liberal democracy—the often-unexamined assumptions about elections, representation, rights, and the relationship between liberalism and democracy. Liberal democratic orthodoxy includes commitments: that elections confer legitimacy, that representation works, that rights protect freedom, that liberal and democratic values align, that liberal democracies are fundamentally just, and that the liberal democratic model is the end of political history. Like all orthodoxies, it provides a framework for political understanding, but it can function as ideology—making liberal democratic arrangements seem natural and inevitable, obscuring their limitations (exclusion, inequality, corporate power), and delegitimizing alternatives. Liberal democratic orthodoxy determines what counts as "democratic" versus "authoritarian," what political arrangements are "legitimate," and who counts as a "real" democrat versus a threat to democracy.
Example: "He couldn't see how liberal democracies might themselves be sites of oppression—not because he'd examined the question, but because liberal democratic orthodoxy had made critique of democracy itself unthinkable. The orthodoxy's power is making its objects immune to fundamental critique."
