Liberal Democrats aim to challenge Tories in upcoming election
The Liberal Democrats are positioning themselves as the main opposition to the Conservatives in the next general election, targeting Tory-held seats in the south-east of England. They are focusing on issues such as the NHS, GP waiting times, and the pensions triple lock to win over voters. The party is also advocating for electoral reform, calling for proportional representation to replace the first-past-the-post system. The Lib Dems have seen recent successes in by-elections and local council victories, giving them hope of gaining more seats and potentially holding the balance of power.
