Jo Swinson

[Stussy]

But I’ve not got any children.... did she have anything a bit more tempting?

Another election if there is a hung parliament...

[dandarez]

Just got in and
following on from the other stuff we have received since the election was called, again, MORE LIB-DUM paraphernalia!

Nothing yet, not anything, zilch, from any other party, any of 'em!
Just relentless Lib-Dum stuff - in the post, phone calls, canvassers, the Lib-Dums pushing and pushing and pushing.

How much are this bunch spending?

And another graph.
Look at how well they did last time they boast (ps, that's the EURO election, they forget to say that they were soundly trounced into third here in the last General Election, the one they kept insisting the result would be too close to call.

Oh well, I await the next load of crap from them, or the next phone call.
They win on one thing - sheer persistence and money wasting!

Front of my local LD leaflet (already in the recycling bin) has the headline

"Jo Swinson, the Prime Minister Britain deserves"


Which I just interpreted as "Well you lot are s, so have a dhead PM, as you deserve it!"

I got a yellow bit of junk mail too, didn’t even bother to read it but did notice a graph of some sort for Cornwall

Did I actually hear that.... Jo just stated she would revoke Art 50 on her first day as PM... "I would just write and send the letter to the EU"

She did but being Prime Minister is not in her future.

If it required a judicial review and MP approval to invoke A50 why does she think she can revoke it without parliamentary approval.

Well I’m a floating voter as I haven’t decided who I’m going to vote for yet and I don’t really have any party allegiance (although I couldn’t vote for anything to do with Nigel Farage), but I thought Jo Swinson would get my vote from tonights interviews/debates, won’t be popular on here I’m sure but that’s where I’m at at the moment.

That’s pretty much my view at the moment too. I usually vote Conservative but Corbyn and Boris, both look bad options to me. The greens and the brexit party look even worse and the libdems haven’t released any policies that put me off them yet.

The Lib Dem policy of misleading the electorate with their election pamphlet 'figures' and 'quotes' is one that sets the bar low from the very start. It's a sign they're fundamentally dishonest and thick too for continuing to try such a cheap and obvious trick.

I'd rather you were honest, admitted you didn't mind being treated with contempt and just want to remain!

I’ve not had a ‘pamphlet’ (great word, woefully under used), how have I being treated with contempt, and you’ll notice in my OP I said based on the interviews and debates from last night.

Its going to destroy commercial letting as no one will take the risk of building a new site if they will get stung with an extra tax just for owning the properties.

If they cant find a tenant or lose the current one it could bankrupt them.

Imagine the impact of that policy in a recession, farmers would be destroying their small units usually rented out on site, this will mean nop propeties when the upturn comes.

Its just a crazy idea for multiple reasons, as is their proprty taxes to replace council tax.

Rich wkers problems, cry me a river

Hatred of business/sucess seems to run deep in the Left wing.

Although you’re open minded and looking at all the options, you’re probably not supporting HIS team so you’re now stupid or misled or being treated with contempt.

You should be more polarised and reactionary like him and ignore his own sides dishonesty and then you’ll be ok.

You chaps may see yourselves as floaters, but from your posting history on here I would have bet large you would vote LD.

Jo Swinson should be thanking ITV they didn't have her on the debate last night, not taking them to court. Every one of the party leaders has an inbuilt ability to shoot themselves in the head. Swinson's biggest issue is she doesn't realise this.

And the less well off right wing on here, blaming liberal elites and people with qualifications and those that live in prosperous parts of the country for all their problems.

We’ve both said we’ll probably vote Lib Dem. I’ve only ever voted conservatives in the past. Each election I weigh up the options and make a decision. I don’t automatically vote conservative, I might vote labour in future if they had a different leader or some more centrist policies. I still might even still vote conservative in this election.

That’s pretty much the definition of floating voter.

“nounBRITISH
noun: floating voter; plural noun: floating voters
a person who has not decided which way to vote in an election, or one who does not consistently vote for the same political party.
"the party leader stepped up his efforts to appeal to floating voters"”

It is strange, as you say their policies are in the main reasonable and doable with the exception of revoking Art 50. They did well in the Euro election standing on a second ref. platform but have, it seems, deliberately alienated 90% of the voting public with that one policy. They either completely misread the mood of the country or have let their hatred of Brexit override everything else.

Good post. For some people, it's only the other side's contempt, lies etc that matter. They ignore it from their own side.

It may shock you but some people don’t just vote for anyone just because they wear the ‘right’ colour rosette

Oh no. I want to leave and the only party I see being able to deliver that are the Tories. I have voted for them for years anyway and am prepared to put up with Boris' shenanigans for the time being in order to get this. Hearing of the CC labelling their Twitter account as FactcheckUK is a proper wky idea. Which little cock-end decided that'd be worth trying? And the content they posted anyway, along the lines of 'Boris won the TV debate', what a waste of a dirty trick! Twitter's a load of bks anyway but I understand it will have an impact on others who use it more.
