\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

I’m working my way through all the manifestos for parties in the current election to see what they have to offer for careers. I started with the current government<\/a> (pretty much ignores careers), then went to the Labour Party<\/a> (not bad on career, but not so good on the wider economic and public sector picture). So, I guess now it is time for the Liberal Democrats.<\/p>\n

For people reading this outside the UK, the Liberal Democrats are Britain’s third party. They were regularly in government until 1915, but then had a fallow period out of government until they propped up a Conservative government from 2010-2015. For the twenty or so years before that they were often pretty indistinguishable from the Labour Party on most issues, but found an enthusiasm for cutting public services whilst in the Coalition. In part because of that their vote collapsed and they have not troubled the front pages too much since. <\/p>\n

This election they have managed to get some attention by performing a range of ridiculous but sometimes amusing stunts. So you can see their leader riding a bike, a rollercoaster, a rubber ring, a paddle board etc (google ‘Ed Davey stunts’) to find out what he’s been up to this week. But the funniest was them sailing a boat behind Rishi Sunak as he tried to look natural talking to some rowers. <\/p>\n
