November 12, 20195 yr Big Ego Joe strikes again! He should have waited a few days. It's JO without the E if you mean Swinson. :rolleyes:
November 12, 20195 yr Swinson's too awkward. Wouldn't go in to coalition with labour with Corbyn as PM for example. Neither would Ed Davey.
November 13, 20195 yr 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... :thinking:
November 13, 20195 yr A relatively small SNP surge could see JS defeated anyway... :thinking: She only has a 5,553 majority and her seat was SNP from 2015 to 2017 but she held it from 2005 to 2015.
November 16, 20195 yr https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/n...ata-on-leaflets Yet people claim here that only the Tories lie and manipulate...
November 16, 20195 yr https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/n...ata-on-leaflets Yet people claim here that only the Tories lie and manipulate... 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.
November 16, 20195 yr 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.”
November 25, 20195 yr Today would have been Charles Kennedy's 60th birthday. He is still much missed :(
November 25, 20195 yr Today would have been Charles Kennedy's 60th birthday. He is still much missed :( Yes indeed. A good Lib-Dem leader. The last three, Farron, Cable and Swinson have been useless.
November 25, 20195 yr Yes indeed. A good Lib-Dem leader. The last three, Farron, Cable and Swinson have been useless. Hundreds of gains in the local elections and second place in the European elections is hardly useless.
November 25, 20195 yr Hundreds of gains in the local elections and second place in the European elections is hardly useless. Agreed Cable was great. 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
November 25, 20195 yr Hundreds of gains in the local elections and second place in the European elections is hardly useless. Let's see how many gains they get this time. 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. Edited November 25, 20195 yr by common sense
November 25, 20195 yr Agreed Cable was great. 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 That's the thing I got from her part of the Leader's Debate on Friday night, when your voting record is that indefensible you don't exactly have a lot of room to maneuver your way around it. Her attempts at seeming remorseful were unconvincing and I just didn't buy it - she'd totally do it all over again.

Her attempts at seeming remorseful were unconvincing and I just didn't buy it - she'd totally do it all over again. Oh dear, do I have to repeat myself yet 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.
November 25, 20195 yr Seems to be quite true according to those on the ground campaigning though... @1198984666352693248
November 25, 20195 yr The Lib Dems are atrocious. A vote for them is a vote for Bojo. How? As I have explained many times (including just now), the chances of a deal between the Lib Dems and Tories are ZERO.
November 25, 20195 yr Yes and they can still get through the middle by Lib Dems contesting Labour seats!!
November 25, 20195 yr Yes and they can still get through the middle by Lib Dems contesting Labour seats!! The exact same applies to Labour contesting Yeovil, North Norfolk, Richmond Park and dozens in between.
