Book Description

5 Mar 2012
The Alternative View is a compelling account of the Liberal Democrats' rollercoaster ride from wilderness to government, and then their subsequent dramatic fall from grace. Former Lib Dem MP Lembit Opik and Councillor Ed Joyce reveal how the 'Orange Book' began...literally as a book with an orange cover, seeking to 're-colour' the party's traditional 'yellow' hue. They explain why the 'Orange Bookers' became the party's ruling group, but how, in coalition, the absence of a clear 'narrative' harmed the entire movement. This book outlines a way back for the party...with momentous implications for the leadership. The Orange Book sought to 'reclaim liberalism.' The Alternative View claims it back.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful! 18 April 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Most boring book ever. Must have for insomniacs, though. Typical self indulgent drivel written by britains biggest megalomaniac. I really wouldn't bother wasting your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review - The Alternative View 18 Mar 2012
By MHolden
Format:Paperback
The Alternative View provides an interesting dialectic to the Liberal Democrats corporate communication from the parties head office. It provides the other side of the argument on the current state of Liberal Democrat party locally and nationally.

The Alternative View is set out logically and written in a way that makes it a good read, I have certainly been able to get through it faster than the Orange Book!

Overall the book sets out some interesting ideas, mapping out the way back for the Liberal Democrats that most activists will find that they can't help but agree with.
