My Lords, many of these slogans are misleading, but parties are allowed to register them. The Electoral Commission does not subject them to an analysis of ideological or policy purity; it just accepts them. Are we now saying that there will be a description that is actually the name of the political party, such as the ““Liberal Democrats”” or the ““Conservative Party””—the Conservative and Unionist Party, or whatever it has decided its name is—which is the registered name, and then there will be up to six words of description in addition?
