But what about Liberal Democrats: Third Cheek… or no cheek at all? Here’s the hilarious true inside story of how Lib Dems spent decades seeking clout, before one man sold them out for a highchair at the Tory table. From climate-panic to pan-sexuality, Clegg-mania to Euro-remoania, heroes and villains dive into a madcap romp for power - and blow it all!
It’s a laugh-a-minute political pandemonium as Lib Dems take a rollercoaster ride (in one case literally) across The Two Cheeks and get stuck in The Crack!
‘The second-best political book of 2026’
Rt Hon Liz Truss, Former UK Prime Minister & Author, Bank Job (2026)
‘From title to end, it’s a great crack!’
Rt Hon Nigel Evans, Former Conservative MP & Deputy Speaker House of Commons
‘Classic Öpik. Funny, quirky, a bit weird but you can’t put it down’
Mark Oaten, Former Lib Dem MP & Shadow Home Secretary
‘A wild, hilarious political satire, but for real. This must be made into a film’
Mehdi Mirtaleb, Film & TV Producer

About the Author
Lembit Öpik is one of the most amusing writers and raconteurs in western politics. Born in Northern Ireland in 1965 to Estonian parents, Lembit helped create the new-style Liberal Democrats, playing a key role in making them electable in the breakthrough 1997 General Election. He served as Shadow Secretary of State for Northern Ireland for a decade, and Lib Dem Leader in Wales during the most successful period in the party’s history, as well as rising to Senior Federal Vice President of the whole movement. He led numerous campaigns in Parliament, including exposing a government cover up of murders in the British Army. Lembit then forgot the skills he’d taught others and lost his own seat in 2010.
Amongst a bemusingly wide range of career moves, Lembit’s tried stand-up comedy, reality TV, film-making and pro-am wrestling - with varying degrees of success and some rib-cracking failures. His previous books include The Alternative View: the way back for the Liberal Democrats – which was proven correct on all points and totally ignored by the party; and The Xenophobe’s Guide to the Estonians – which was a hit with everyone except Estonians.
He’s dedicated to free speech in media and politics. He regularly mocks the almost comic disintegration of professional politics, as Conservatives and Labour converge to squeeze Lib Dems into oblivion. Lembit’s a long-time critic of how Lib Dems dumped values that once made them the credible third force in British politics. He also derides the 2024 Labour Government as the worst educated, least competent and most authoritarian in British history. As Founder of @UnprecedentedTV and broadcaster on UK Live Online, he plays an active and public role to reverse censorship, and report British civic life with passion and laughter. His cites his favourite hobby as aviation and his guilty pleasure as moaning about Nick Clegg.
