Good for the Lib Dems. Good for breaking up the crap, 2 party politics that's clearly not working for the UK.

Great for moving to the 1 party system that labour have in mind with votes for 16 year olds, votes for non uk citizens and the other vote rigging crap they come up with.Onward toward PR.

You mean like the vote rigging crap that the Conservatives tried by giving the vote to people who moved from the UK more than 15 years ago?Frankly a 16 year old or an EU citizen living in the UK has more interest in what is happening here and how it should be governed than someone who f
ked off almost two decades ago.CivicDuties said:

Election calculus still giving the libdems more seats than cons. 10 seat or so advantage. It's going to be close.
Reform "down" to 7 seats.

The good thing about this is that if the LibDems do become the official opposition, then they will have to be covered by the BBC for "balance" as much as the governing party. There will be no responsibility on them to cover the Conservative party equally any more.Reform "down" to 7 seats.

So, if you want the Tories gone, and you want them gone for good, and you're prevaricating over voting for the LibDems, there's a good reason to go for it.

when they don’t deliver anything they promise?
Have they actually promised to deliver anything?I thought they were just stood there saying 'vote for us rather than that lot over there, frankly we can't be any worse'.
And an awful lot of people do seem to be taking them up on that offer, which given it is a pretty pathetic offer, doesn't exactly say much about what the public think of the Conservatives performance whilst in power or what they have delivered.
The popularity will be short lived, that’s the byproduct of not governing and shouting ‘hear hear’ from the sidelines. When it’s time to actually do, there’s going ti a lot of sore pockets.
This is the benefit of having seen it all before. Unlike say someone swayed by Farage on a whim, I remember Brown, Blair, that utter
Ed Balls, Livingstone, Scargill….the champagne socialists rogues gallery 
But that’s life. Soon Starmwr will be gone, with his life long salary and taxpayer funded pension. The more things change the more they stay the same inevitably.

Remind me again who brought in the new voter ID rules that even JRM admitted was akin to gerrymandering?Why do those on the right have such short memories?

f
king bed wetters are out in force I see.Genuinely hilarious.
Labour have won how many elections in the last 150 years?
The only reason they're getting in is because of the absolutely downright diabolical job the Tories have done.
Maybe a cold shower is on the cards.
Labour "seizing power" (whatever that means. I assume it means democratically elected) indefinitely

Indeed.Even the ones with £10 in their Post Office account think they have to start moving it offshore.
It's all very, very funny.

Oh they will lose. And smug individuals like you, once lightly pummelled in the wallet department will soon be back here crying. Once the thin veneer is gone, it’ll be the same stshow as every other lefty government carlo996 said:

It won't take long - he is surprisingly unpopular for a LOTO three days from a likely landslide and it's harder to get the public to like you when in government and making difficult decisions on things he hasn't got buy-in from the electorate when he has a self imposed straight jacket. tshow as every other lefty government https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/explore/publi...
