A challenge from ⁦@matthewparris4⁩ ⁦@EdwardJDavey

“The heresy that Brexit is the only question suits the LD because, there being many more Remain voters than..LD voters, the party has much to gain from converting the former into the latter.” spectator.co.uk/2019/09/eight-…
@matthewparris4 sets out 8 criteria why he is a Tory, not a LD (& we should always be grateful & respectful to those who lend us their vote so we can prove we have earned it).

What will @LibDemPress and @CarolineVoaden say in response.

We are unapologetically radical centrists
1 reason @matthewparris4 is, I think, that the idea of you lending your vote every single election cycle is the healthiest possible democratic state of affairs.

We have got to where we are because Parties have become sclerotic instead of being engaged in a vital dynamic debate
That SHOULD be alive and thriving all the time.

The venues where this happens have become closed. Not social and living.

It SHOULD be (courteously) challenging in both directions. Party towards members and voters and voters & members to parties..

We have lost the dynamism
