Theres as many as there ever were, it's just they are either not voting, or voting differently, due to left wing parties becoming unhinged and having skewed priorities.
I'm fairly radically left wing, but would settle for a moderate left party.
And yet, none are any good.
I'd settle for an economically centrist and socially liberal party, but none seem to be available.
Fuck, at this point i'd consider voting libertarian to end the moralist nonsense.
(That right there? That's Liberal Diaspora.)

I'm somewhat similar myself (but then I'm sighing at all the main parties now).
If Labour got a grip (and that applies to any of them), maybe. But otherwise it will be a very reluctant Lib-Dem vote.
Guessing you're similar.
There is some economic bullshit in the UK, but its not like, starving in the streets desperate yet (for the vast majority), so I consider social issues a greater importance.
And yet, all the parties seem to be tripping over eachother to engage in moralistic pandering and taking shits on civil rights.
