After Nick Clegg's amazing performance in the leader's debate, the Lib Dems are second in like three polls and first in one. These don't seem to be short term poll noise either, since its being repeated over and over again. This is the best place the Liberals have been in since the days of the Alliance.
Here's some big reforms we could expect if the Lib Dems manage to make further gains and can get a majority:
Gay marriage
Legalization of Marijuania
Pulling out of the wars
Ending all of these awful internet regulation bills
Ending the New Labour Orwellian surveillance state
An introduction of an actual constitution for Britian that will provide concrete protection of rights
Proportional representation - which would probably mean they won't ever be able to get a majority again, but they'll be permanent kingmakers
Kind of makes me wish we had some LibDems in America instead of these two shit awful parties.
Hopefully this pans out and they can continue making gains. As it is, however, winning 30%+ of the vote for the Libdems would be amazing.

ComRes and ICM show Lib Dems on the rise
Posted on April 17th, 2010 by Anthony Wells
Two of Sunday’s polls have already been released – a new poll by ComRes for the Sunday Mirror has topline figures of CON 31%(-4), LAB 27%(-2), LDEM 29%(+8). This was conducted yesterday and today, and is very much in line with the YouGov figures yesterday, showing a surge in support for the Liberal Democrats following the leaders’ debate, pushing them ahead of Labour into second place.
There is also new ICM poll in the Sunday Telegraph which has topline figures of CON 34%(-3), LAB 29%(-2), LDEM 27%(+7). The fieldwork dates are very interesting here – Wednesday and Thursday. The Sunday Telegraph article says the “majority” of the fieldwork was done before the debate, I can only assume it was a large majority, unless ICM do their fieldwork quite late at night! Anyway, most of the shift in ICM’s poll can’t be attributed to the effect of the debate, but rather the publicity around the Lib Dem manifesto launch (remember YouGov’s poll immediately before the debate also showed a 4 point jump for the Lib Dems on the back of their manifesto).
In both cases (as well as YouGov yesterday) both of the main parties have declined as the Lib Dems have surged, but in all cases the Conservatives have lost more support than Labour.
