Brexit

Yes let's all vote Lib Dem to stop the Conservatives. What a fine idea with a strong history of success.

If everyone voted for the Lib Dems then it would successfully stop the Conservatives...

History has moved on.

If the seat distribution had been a little different in 2015, Nick Clegg and his small band of MPs would be loyal handmaidens to Cameron's second term agenda right now.

For me, it rather punctures the appeal of Farron's sanctimonious lectures.

Clegg's gone and I would imagine they have realised that jumping in bed with the Tories is not a good move for their future careers.

You know Clegg's still an MP though, right? He's literally 12.5% of the PLDP

You know he isn't the leader though right?

I am literally 50% of my department at the moment (actually 100% right now as my colleague just went for a piss) but I wouldn't describe myself as in charge of it or as somebody that is forcing us to jump into bed with our rivals.

Damn, my colleague just came back and now I am back to 50% control.

I'm in a position right now where I can't and won't vote for either of the two main parties. I won't vote Tory because, well, Tories, and Labour are complicit in most of the damage the Tories are inflicting. So I'm left with Lib Dems and Greens (the latter is how I voted last time).

You realise May and Corbyn are in power of the other parties? Your argument for me is completely invalid whilst those two exist.

Nick Griffin hopes to emigrate in the next 6 months and hopes Hungary will accept him as a refugee.

crikies, people talking up the Lib-Dems. an amazing country I live in.

just a few short years ago they ditched policies to get in power with the Tories and suffered at the last general election because of it. oh my, oh my.

Sounds a bit like a Home Secretary campaigning to Remain in the EU but then going into full "Brexit means Brexit" mode when she gets a sniff of power.

Let's be honest, people are only talking about voting Lib Dem after the Clegg debacle because the other two major parties are ran by an incompetent elderly man and the female version of Hitler. I guess a bible-bashing homophobe would be considered the lesser of three evils. It's staggering to think that we have three major parties (well, four if you're Scottish) and none of them offer politics that appeal to a sensible human being.

Genuinly the Lib Dems hands were tied in the situation they put themselves in, but looking at how the coallition government did and what the full Tory government are doing now, I'd do anything to have the lib dems back at least holding back the tories from carrying out all their bullshit they're doing now.

Compromising on policies isn't a strange or bad thing to do - it's a necessity for forming a coalition government (which was what they had to do to achieve anything). The problem was /which/ policies they changed on. Namely, student fees actually rising.

May or may not be directly linked to Brexit, but Tesco has pulled the majority (and in some cases all) of Amstel, Birra Moretti, Sol, Tiger Beer, Kingfisher, Fosters, Kronenbourg and Heineken beers off the shelves. Publicly they're saying it's because customers now desire better beers (more craft beers have turned up, as has Budweiser Budvar in 4 pack and...erm...Bud Light). Heineken however want an extra 6p per pint.

Goodbye cheap European larger (as in the drink larger).

I like Sol

Less choice in the supermarkets, higher prices....taking back control.

"BBC's Brexit coverage pessimistic and skewed, say MPs" as reported by...the BBC. Bias, etc.
