QUOTE(Freddie Kruger @ Nov 12 2019, 09:14 PM) Swinson's too awkward. Wouldn't go in to coalition with labour with Corbyn as PM for example. Neither would Ed Davey. |

QUOTE(5 Silas Frøkner @ Nov 10 2019, 10:20 PM) She’s no problems with Sky tho for including her but excluding the 3rd largest party by membership and seats. The sooner people on here and in England wake up to the fact that all Jo Swinson cares about is what is best for Jo Swinson, the better. A relatively small SNP surge could see JS defeated anyway...

That’s distortion, not outright lying. There is a big difference. I agree that some examples are decidedly lacking in honesty, but it’s still not outright lying. In my constituency the Greens have a bar chart showing them ahead with the Lib Dems second. Look closely and you see it shows the European election results across all three Brighton and Hove constituencies. |

Vince Cable predicts the election will end in a hung parliament, sparking a referendum and another general election.
The former leader of the Liberal Democrats said there is a “one in a million” chance that Jeremy Corbyn will become prime minister. “The idea of Jeremy Corbyn winning and becoming Prime Minister, one in a million. It’s not going to happen,” Cable told Sophy Ridge on Sky News. “I think we’re faced with either a Johnson majority, it could happen. Although I think more likely, no majority, but hung in a different way, with more of us and more SNP.” When asked if Corbyn gets into Number 10 in the event of a hung parliament, Vince said: “No it doesn’t and we’ve been absolutely clear we couldn’t possibly allow that to happen. “It would probably be some more neutral figure and then leading into a referendum to resolve the Brexit issue and another General Election soon after that.” |

Today would have been Charles Kennedy's 60th birthday. He is still much missed

Although I think after a good start, the wheels have come off for Swimson a bit. I think her time in government propping up the Tories is going against her quite a bit |

I bet not many. In fact people on the ground say they're struggling in Sheffield Hallam as well as Devon and Cornwall. Seems they'll definitely take Zac Goldsmith's seat as they're polling 20 points ahead of him at present but that's probably more a protest against him.

Her attempts at seeming remorseful were unconvincing and I just didn't buy it - she'd totally do it all over again. |

In order to enter into a coalition with anyone, the deal has to be supported by Lib Dem members. The chances of the members agreeing to a deal with a party committed to taking us out of the EU are zero. It simply won't happen. |

Seems to be quite true according to those on the ground campaigning though...

The Lib Dems are atrocious. A vote for them is a vote for Bojo.
