wtf is a double bagger ?
A double bagger is a sexual partner that isn’t attractive, so you might put a bag over her head when you’re having sex. Your partner is so ugly that you don’t want to see their face.If they’re really unattractive you have to use two bags, (double bags) one on her head as above, and one on your own head, incase hers falls off.
Obviously this is more of a thought experiment than something that actually might happen.

As a politician? She’s in her infancy as leader of the LibDems and has played things reasonably well by being almost invisible for the last few weeks. She needs to step up and start being a bit more vocal now as she’s got a great chance to make her party relevant again. Or did you mean do i fancy her? I’m not at school any more so don't act like a giggling teenager unlike many on here.
My opinion? Next GE, she's gone.
What qualities and experience do you think she brings to the party?

As much as those are valid questions the reality is that they don’t matter. This election will be fought as a single issue and that means people will vote according to that and little else. As such the LibDems will acquire votes from all over without having to do much more than what they’re currently doing. It is that simple IMO

I'd like the LDs to do well, the UK needs it, but having to use slimy weasels to do it...ergh...
We live in turbulent times. Things will settle down eventually.Having been banned from the Boris thread, I dare not draw any comparisons, subtle or otherwise, with any other era of history for fear of causing offence.

Where is the bravado you refer to in Tony427's post/s?
Care to quote and highlight the 'bravado' part, and point out why he's a snowflake?
Please don’t. There’s plenty of brexit threads to bicker on but dragging bickering from one brexit thread to another is utterly pointless. Care to quote and highlight the 'bravado' part, and point out why he's a snowflake?
Can we keep this one about Jo Swinson and the libdems please?

I don’t think they do, and this worries me. But that makes no difference. That is who they are voting for, and we had a referendum on changing to a proportional representation system in 2011. The public voted to keep the system we have.
It’s the same groups that are calling for the MPs to lose their seats now that campaigned not to change the system.
Nope, it was AV, not PR.It’s the same groups that are calling for the MPs to lose their seats now that campaigned not to change the system.

How many people in "Vote leave" areas are even aware that they could do this to their "Remain" MP?
If this fact was more widely known, say by showing a PSA on TV for example, I would say the chance of number of MP's being recalled would be quite high. So in my view (not fact just opinion) the lack of recalls is primarily down to lack of knowledge, rather than people being happy with what those who are representing them are doing.

Lib Dem’s conference live on BBC parliament.
Some inspiring stuff from someone called Alistair Carmichael, who seems to offer insight into how they decide whether to accept defectors from the Torys and labour (don’t let in racists and xenophobes) and that they’re going to not have a brexit referendum any more just ignore the first referendum completely.

There should be a byelection as others have said. Next GE, will the electorate vote Sam as their MP??
Although he was quite popular locally, his constituency is a very safe conservative seat. I’d say it’ll be unlikely he’d win against a conservative candidate. His constituency was a very narrow leave area.When he became my MP one of my old neighbours said “people weren’t happy” because he’s black.
I can’t see him winning as a libdem. I’ll vote for him though.

They are elected because of the party and the policy that party represents and they know it.
Except that the party Gyimah was a member of, and was elected as a candidate for, no longer exists. The policies, values and basic political integrity of the party he was elected an MP for in 2017 have disappeared.I have never voted anything other than Conservative for over 30 years, but I don't recognise much in the current organisation which has taken over that brand.
The LibDems are to the left of my natural political instincts, but what claims to be the Conservative party has shifted further to the right under Boris.
Gyimah was a loyal conservative junior minister, one of the new faces of the party that appealed to younger voters, part of the future.
Pretty disappointing to see Boris and Cummings kick him out, along with other great Conservatives like Clarke.
He’s not left the party, the party has changed and kicked him out.
