I will wager that her and Chukka will be offered a couple of nice plum jobs by the European Union
I think she’s toast mate, a dreadful politician hopefully now consigned to history. What goes on in the LD party is a mystery to me, how on earth could they appoint her as leader and then allow her full reign to cripple their election chances at s time when they could’ve made gains. She basically took one big gamble and has paid the price. Good riddance. 
ks they spout, would anyone really notice?Blue62 said:

Their support is too spread out to really have an impact. Look at the number of seats the SNP get with a much smaller share of the vote.

They did make gains though just not concentrated enough to turn it into seats. They made the most in terms of extra vote swing out of any party last night

Indeed they did and as always their vote share does not transfer into seats, but that’s another issue that I presume St Nigel will be addressing when he attempts to make himself relevant again! I genuinely felt that they had an opportunity to make a big move this time, but they got it tragically wrong. Swinson has been a poor leader. Their support is too spread out to really have an impact.

I thought she stood a chance until she decided she'd take a GE win as authority to veto Brexit. I voted remain but couldn't vote for that!IIRC this policy was approved by the Lib Dems themselves so they must all shoulder the blame, but they still seem to be stuck with the ambition to make a few seats whilst voting for what makes them feel good.
