The Liberal Democrats seem to be following the ol’ MMOG Hype Cycle; a blaze of publicity and hope offering people a fresh alternative to the tired old system they’re all sick of, then strong initial performance building up confidence that they really can be a player, but when it comes to the crunch and actually plunking your money(/vote) down it turns out people aren’t that keen on a change after all and go back to the more traditional options.
