I am pleased with Ming Campbell's approach on the issue of Crime. To quote from his speech:
A party which is serious about social justice cannot fail to be serious about preventing crime and enforcing the rules.
...
I want to be clear: I support the discriminating use of ASBOs in tackling crime and discouraging anti social behaviour.
Liberal Democrats in local government have used ASBOs to good effect.
...
Penalties should go beyond custody. People like Ian Huntley should not have the vote. If you are guilty of a serious breach of the law, you forfeit the right to elect those who make the law.

Hence the party will adopt the approach taken by the party in Birmingham.
I live next door to council flats in any event.
General Election Manifesto issues are obtained by a double latch from the Conference and Parliamentary Parties.
I work with my colleagues in the parliamentary party by discussion at the meeting of the parliamentary party.
The double latch applies in practise to the manifesto.
Regardless of what is said by any documents the above applies in practise. There are conflicts between the Bill of Rights 1688 and other documents.
The Bill of Rights takes precedence.
Constitutional Laws of the UK take precedence.
