The general election could be "a moment for seismic change", when "a new and different politics" emerges, Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson has said.

In a speech at the party's campaign launch, she said she could do "a better job" than either Boris Johnson or Jeremy Corbyn as prime minister.

What as, dictator. :hmmm:

Month after month she said put it to the people calling for a second reforendrum and then suddenly at the LibDems conferance stuff that we are going to tear up article 50 out right. So much for democracy....

^Personally I would tell them to sod off and stop sending me this BS and lies. I suspect even after ticking the box I don't want to hear from you again these morons would still send emails out.

I really wonder why people vote these days, my conclusion they bought the lies and BS and the end result of that....NO HOPE OF THINGS GETTING BETTER.

In the world of soylent green I would be Sol.

My only observation about this GE is:

In England, Wales and Northern Ireland Brexit will dominate.

In Scotland it'll be independence with Brexit complicating things.

As the SNP have effectively replaced Labour up here it's a given that they will have the most seats. Exactly how many remains to be seen.

There's a truism in Scottish politics - the party that controls Glasgow and the Clyde Valley controls Scotland. If the other parties (apart from Labour, who have blown it) want to make inroads there, they need to make a serious study of why the Western Central Belt is the way it is and why it votes the way it does.

I suspect that for the Tories it'll be too challenging to their worldview for them to accept.

Mike.:hmmm:

Former Chancellor Philip Hammond is to leave Parliament "with great sadness" after deciding against standing as an independent in his Surrey constituency.

Mr Hammond lost the Conservative whip in September after defying Boris Johnson over a no-deal Brexit.

As a result, he cannot stand as a Tory candidate in Runnymede and Weybridge, which he has represented since 1997.

He said he would not stand as an independent as that would be a "direct challenge" to the party he loved.

I admire his stance but in all honesty I doubt he had any other alternative.

I am wondering how this would impact in the UK and the public's relation tot he Royals if the story is shown to be true!? In a sane society this should hold the potantial to destroy the function of the Royals as a national institution of uniting the people and closing gaps between different social andf political groups.

If true, both the deed and the attempt to hide it and intimidate reporters, are crimes. How loyal would the population remain to the Royals after this story blowing up and shown as truth?

Jimbuna 11-05-19 02:36 PM

I think you'll find that majority of the British public are very supportive of the Royal Family but I've no doubt there are a great many influential people who have 'skeletons in the cupboard'.

She is like a drug addict on a acid trip believing she is the one and she is going to win because the people believe she is better.

Give me a break this woman is a control freak strutting around like a dictator.

That woman behind him clearly came across as to say...that is a pact of lies go and join the tories. Another one in labour who will not hear the truth, Labour under the thumb of the big M and the nameless one is their puppet.
