Are they? Why do you say that?If the LDs hadn't propped up Cameron's first government we would be in a very different place. And there probably wouldn't have been a second Cameron government and a Brexit referendum. The LDs are a rather different party now, but under Clegg they were entirely despicable apologists for ruthless austerity (and I think Clegg's later career as Zuckerberg's patsy makes it very clear what sort of person he is). They bear an enormous responsibility for our current shitshow.
The personnel are different but I don't see any sign of a reversion to the Charles Kennedy era of being relatively progressive.
Swinson was more fiscally hawkish than peak Cameron/Osborne.
The current liberal leadership is virtually invisible, as far as I can tell, so it's hard to know what they stand for, these days.
