I'm assuming this thread does what it says on the tin and allows me to change my description from UKIP to Conservative. I've worked hard for the party, standing for them at both County and district level, but we have done all we can, we are coming out of Europe. As Conservatives we must now take the fight to the Lib Dems, especially where I live in Timmy Farron's seat.

I have left the LibDems and henceforth am a member of the Liberal Party Well, I'm sorry to lose you but I can see that it was getting increasingly hard to reconcile your views with the party's policy. I hope that you continue to argue the case for liberal values from your new colour.

About the only thing that's stopped me from joining them is their "nationalise everything" stance. Nothing will be nationalised while I'm around except maybe water supply... I can see an argument for water supply to be owned by local authorities a la Scotland. Most water supplies did used to be local authority undertakings, old maps are scattered with labels such as "Whitby UDC WW". It's a physical localised monopoly from "generation" to consumption. I can't see how a non-monopoly with consumer choice of supplier would work, it would need a seperation of the "generators" - the reservoirs - from the suppliers. I know the government have been moving towards consumer choice of water supply, but how do I in Whitby choose to get that nice water that Northumbria Water supply? Electricity consumer choice is workable at the physics level because each individual supply supplies an amount of energy into the grid which can be bought from the grid. It doesn't need to be the same physical electrons, it just needs the accounting to match up. But there's no such thing as a water gird, and with the chemistry of water it would be difficult to make any such grid. Regardless of how much water Northumbria Water's "generators" feed into the supply there is no way I can arrange for their supply to come out of my tap. Northumbria Water has a water "generation" surplus, so consumer supplier choice seems to suggest that the water deficit in London can be magically fixed by everybody in London switching supplier to Northumbria.

My thoughts exactly.. Moreover in many parts of the south of the country where reservoirs are not a source but groundwater is pumped there is a brewing supply crisis. Here is Test Valley, Andover which is at the head of the valley (i.e. there is little upstream) is adding (supposedly) 10,000 new homes and yet our planning committee was recently informed that there is "no extra water" by Southern Water. So in 20 years from now Andover may be a "dry town" and not in a temperance sense of the word. Its a toxic brew (pardon the pun) of poor local planning and a do-nothing water company.

Though on a more serious note, if enough liberal LibDems (and other liberals) moved to the Liberal Party then it would be essentially what the new membership make of it.. Call it "entryism" maybe...
