Election Day: Poll of polls & "Who did you vote for?" inside!

He'll probably become a Vicar.

But what does he think about gay sex though?!?!

A shame. I like Farron. He was brilliant at times in this campaign.

It will be interesting to interview him now and see if he suddenly knows how to answer questions.

Edit. I just remembered that he will still be an mp so the answer will still be no.

Well that's the Daily Star sorted for tomorrow: I quit because of gay sex

Jesus never even mentioned homosexuality so I have no idea why it is so difficult for Christian's to cope with this.

I wonder if he'd have gone if they'd got 20 seats?

Explains a lot.

Type II diabetes is not an excuse for idiocy.

I may be holding my feet over a fire here, but he's generally voted in a very liberal fashion with regards to these sorts of issues. And he answered that question time and time again. It shows that even if he has these views, he is willingly to put these aside for the good of the people he is serving.

I just read Neogaf and I cannot get the amount of hate he is getting.

Reading between the lines it come across like he genuinely can't accept homosexuality in accordance with his faith. Clearly the guy shouldn't be leading a liberal party and if he wants remain faithful to the bibles teachings I'd suggest he probably shouldn't be in the party at all!

She said she was skipping meals as she had back to back interviews to do. Low blood sugar = confusion in some cases.

I wouldn't say it's a stretch.

I'm pretty sure Farron has abstained from almost every gay rights vote since he was elected as an MP - there was a comparison article for party leaders' voting rights a few weeks before the election.

His overall voting history is pretty positive towards it.

Seems like a 'I don't believe in what you do but I defend your right to do it' is a pretty liberal viewpoint.

But perhaps not as positive as you'd expect from the leader of the Lib Dems. His comments make it seem bizarre he even considered leading the party in the first place.

If she was insulin dependent - she could make more of a case. Your blood sugars tend to fluctuate more.
I think it's utter bollocks personally.

It might not be bollocks but it must mean that her blood sugar has been wrong for at least 15 years.

Too good for this world.

RIP in peace, sweet angel

She might not be very good at monitoring this. I mean, we know she's not good with numbers.

Actually that sort of proves both your points
