The DM has launched a hard-hitting new campaign to highlight the growing conflict between the Liberal Democrats' claimed values and their enthusiasm for handing ever more decision-making to the EU.
The campaign has started in the run up to the European Parliament elections on 4th June but will continue right through until the next general election, which is expected within 12 months.
In particular, the campaign has been launched in defence of Ireland's democratic 'No' vote to the Lisbon Treaty. Leading Lib Dem MEP Graham Watson has has pledged to use taxpayers' money he and his colleagues will receive from the European Parliament to help fund a major 'Yes' to Lisbon campaign in the outrageous repeat referendum Ireland is being pressured to stage later this year.
The pledge makes a vote for the Lib Dems on 4th June a vote to disregard the previous referendum result and to bully the Irish people into reversing their clear 'No' verdict.
But the DM's new campaign follows a succession of affronts to democracy and civil liberties committed by the Liberal Democrats, caused by their enthusiasm for handing ever more decision-making to the EU. They amount to a stark conflict between the party's claimed values and actions that can no longer be allowed to pass unnoticed.
Not only did they vote to approve the highly illiberal and anti-democratic Lisbon Treaty, but at every stage of the treaty's progress through Parliament the Lib Dems did what it took - abstaining in the Commons and voting against in the Lords - to prevent us being given the EU referendum they promised us at the last general election.That's why the campaign has been called Not Liberal - Not Democrats.
