We did have a proper liberal party. The Liberals... but nobody voted for them, and so they merged with the Social Democrats...... guess which party came out of the deal.

lol, well, thats easy to guess

why did no-one vote for them?

also what where there policys?

oic, so i guess my best bet is to either become the leader of a party myself or hope that one changes its views toward mine? feck.

how do you plan to get your views represented, i mean, having read your manifesto, there arent many partys close to that idealogy, atleast not that i know of.

Well, there's one thing you have to remember: no matter who you are and no matter what parties you have to choose from, you will never be 100% happy with who's available, and you'll always disagree with some of the policies that the party you vote for supports.

When it comes down to voting, a lot of people I know vote based on with whom they disagree with less, not who they agree with more.

There are more sources of political power than being elected. If you're particularly interested in a specific cause, there are hundreds of pressure groups out there, and they do get heard. I mean, look at the effect that all the green pressure groups are having on Governments around the world, at the moment.

The media is also another place, through use of the media, you can get more people to support your cause, pressuring the Government to change policies.

You can also join Government think tanks, and come up with ideas and proposals for the Government.

There are many more avenues to get involved with politics outside of joining a political party.
