Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : But at the core of the Lib Dems' pitch to voters is the package of health and care pledges.
60% : Sir Ed Davey put a £9.4 billion-a-year package for the NHS and social care at the heart of his party's General Election manifesto, funded by a tax raid on banks and the super-rich.
58% : On political reform, Sir Ed told the launch his party would end the first-past-the-post voting system in favour of "fair votes with proportional representation".
58% : Moreover, there are clear risks that their package of tax measures would not raise the £27 billion a year that they claim.
50% : "Once ties of trust and friendship have been renewed and the damage the Conservatives have caused to trade between the UK and EU has begun to be repaired, we would aim to place the UK-EU relationship on a more formal and stable footing by seeking to join the single market," the manifesto reads.
