The Liberal Democrats, led by Sir Ed Davey, are promising a return to "grown-up politics" as they launch their campaign for the upcoming general election. In a speech at the party's spring conference in York, Sir Ed criticized the Conservative government for fostering a culture of "pointless populist gimmicks" and pledged to focus on serious issues such as the cost of living, the NHS, and sewage in rivers.

The Liberal Democrats hope to capitalize on public disillusionment with the major parties and make significant gains in the next election.
