What are the Liberal Democrats for?

Adam makes points about the Liberal Democrats with which we are all so familiar in Ceredigion. Look at his blog on What is the point of the Liberal Democrats? and The New Nasty Party?.
Kirsty Williams' response is rather typical of the Liberal Democrats, stating what she is against and not offering a whiff of what she proposes as a replacement. The closest we have got to a comprehensive Liberal Democrat policy statement on tuition fees is One Man Band Liberal Democrat Vince Cable's opinion on Question Time that the Lib Dems will reduce the number of students in University and constrain the academic curriculum. In a Liberal Democrat society are we really to believe that choice and academic freedom will disappear? It seems so. People who campaign for what they believe are an anathema to the Liberal Democrats, for them, elections and its processes are the only thing that are important not the objectives, outcomes, politics and principles in between. This is why I will continue to call them a reactive not a proactive party, the cap fits so wear it.
