it becomes a problem when the right and far right are blurred in the Overton window, and moderate conservatism becomes the new left/centre left.

The LibDems have a big policy difference - They openly say they will return to the EU. Whether that will benefit of hinder then is another matter!

I’m seriously considering voting for the Lib-Dems in the next GE, on the basis that neither the Tories, nor Labour in its present form, are worth voting for, the Greens have zero chance of ever holding power, and I will do absolutely anything - ANYTHING - to keep Deform UK out of power.

I briefly made the acquaintance of our Mayor - Deform’s Andrea Jenkyns - in our local Tesco the other day -I was going into the Gents as she was entering the Ladies! She was very personable and shook my hand as we exchanged pleasantries before going our separate ways, but my opinion of Deform UK and their members hasn’t changed.

I don't know what it means that they get a lot of 'comma'.
As for them being 'pro PR', yes. Everything Ed Davey does seems to be about Public Relations.

I accept that 'PR' can also refer to Proportional Representation. But I have commented on the clarity of posts here before.

Still no answer about what you mean by saying that they get a lot of 'comma'

Yes, I am a pedant, I have never denied it.
