The Liberal Democrats are hardly really a party - they have no coherent political position, and no core of policies that their members and supporters share, but I think this initiative has not received the positive response it deserves:
Nick Clegg and the Liberal Democrats are proposing a Freedom Bill to sweep away unnecessary laws.
They list a "top 10", including ID cards, restrictions on protests, control orders, indefinite DNA retention of innocent suspects, and so on.
They also ask for suggestions from the public.
