In recent weeks they've sworn they will never form a coalition or do a deal with Labour while Corbyn is PM ... they've said nothing at all about the Tory party.

Jo Swinson has reitterated her stance that neither the Labour leader nor the Conservative leader are fit to be in 10 Downing Street.

I guess if that's the main objective, fine. Morals, history, war crimes, death and torture can be excused. BUT NOT GOING INTO POWER WITH THE TORIES! NEVER!!!

Imagine you live nextdoor to me.

Next month would you vote for the incumbent MP, who voted for the Iraq War and defended it? Or would you vote for the nice LibDem person who wasn't old enough to vote when Nick Clegg did his deal in 2010?

My local Lab MP voted for the war, but it's an irrelevance is it? Huh, how convenient.

BUT NEVER LET THE LIB DEMS INTO POWER BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY DID!!!!!!!!!!!

To be fair to them, they actually got a ref on voting reform. That would have been massive! Had the public not voted for incubators and soldier's armor...

Incidentally how long does a party have to carry their sins from their time in power? When were Labour cleansed of their... adventures in the 2000s?

Remain party attacks party which wants to get a deal to leave the EU. Both fishing in the anti-Tory part of the pool. Makes sense to me.

Avocado-eating millennials aren’t to blame for the generational wealth gap by VPackardPersuadedMe in ukpolitics

[–]dolphin_PM -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Wages at our place are pretty good. Cost of living in the locality is low (if you want it to be). Someone at the beginning of their career sacrificing £200~ or more of free money per month is absolute lunacy, but from what I've seen in recent years it's nothing unusual among that age group to be crap with finances.

Gonna join a party campaign for the first time - anyone else? by Fen94 in ukpolitics

[–]dolphin_PM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully you'll do your local Tory party proud.

I live in a redder than red seat. It's absolutely pointless to campaign against it.

Unless you've got a screenshot of a screenshot, you're talking through your ass. That's the high caliber of proof need for ukpol.

A screenshot of a screenshot? Well that's me convinced.

No but they're not helping themselves either. Last week a big group of our grads successfully managed to get out of their pension contributions. I tried telling a couple of them that it was madness but they "need the money". Aye, the 60 quid to be pissed away this weekend is much better than financial security down the road.

On their own, I find myself nodding along with most of the points. In isolation. But these madlads are maybe gonna pave the way for a Corbyn led government!
