Lib Dem Polls - How Low Can They Go?

[Streathamite]

It's simply not true that 'fees' were the centrpiece of the election manifesto and campaign. They were one aspect of it. - http://www.libdemvoice.org/nick-set...les-four-steps-to-a-fairer-britain-17505.html

stop lying, you miserable little man!Your leading politicians and campaigners made a 5-course meal out of it at every turn, in a flat-out bid to get the student vote.
And given how utterly hollow and false that article on your website reads - do you really think anyone's gonna take a single word of it seriously?

 

[Streathamite]

I've done no such thing, i've said they are up for political compromise if it means we can acheive real results.

They amount to the same thing, you utter fucking moron!

Uh huh. The only electoral constituency which the Lib Dems clearly won (48% of students voted Lib Dem) are being completely screwed over on a policy for which there is zero mandate, and which the Lib Dems have a clear mandate to block. It is the clearest possible indication that the Lib Dems have no intention of influencing anything - they're just giving the Tories the votes they need to put through policies that the majority voted against.

well, you are a Marxist, after all.....

 

[belboid]

of course, it should read '...if Dave doesn't like them...'

Clegg paid firm £9000 to find people willing to listen to him speak.

If they had to pay to get people along to hear Nick Clegg before the election, they would have to pay a lot more money now.

lolz

Down from 35% to 16% in the South West - they're properly fucked now

 

[ernestolynch]

Lol

 

[Santino]

Lol, indeed

 

[shagnasty]

In the sixties when they only used to win no more than six seats the seats they did win were in the highlands of scotland and in the south west.so will they been feeling dejavu

 

[ovaltina]

vince cable on telly this nothing saying the coalition will be stronger for having gone through adversity. the guys hopeless at spin.

 

[kabbes]

I wonder what odds you can get on the Lib Dems getting literally zero seats in the next election?

That would be astonishing.

Richard Huzzey was a bit of a party hack in Oxford - he's resigned from the party: http://www.libdemvoice.org/opinion-richard-huzzey-i-resign-22345.html

 

[kabbes]

That would be astonishing.

It really would. But the vagaries of FPTP, (or FPTP+, known as AV), mean that a party teetering on the edge of critical mass can easily disappear into total oblivion.

If they really are down to 16% in the South-West then they could have lost that critical mass.

and in the scottish border region, eg David Steel

It's amazing that anyone could mistake these protests for pro-labour protests - labout will be the ultimate electoral benificee (is that the word?) but only an out of touch desperate fool would mistake that for this being pro-labour.

The word you're looking for is "beneficiary".

The comments from Liberal Democrat members below that post are fantastic. I do feel sorry for the people going "20 years a member" and suchlike though.

Well, they're behind UKIP in Scotland on the latest polls (5% v 6%). Zero seats at the next election would be a decent punt if they're down to 16% in the SW.

Aces.

indeed Aces, and I'm thinking kabbes may have come up with a smart way to turn a tidy profit on this!

I don't. Fuck 'em.

ah but you know im soft ...

I found them actually quite moving. I may disagree with everything even their rank and file stand for, but I don't doubt their sincerity

 

[chilango]

Time to dig this out again?

I actually checked the betting sites the other day hoping to get in before the odds went down, but couldn't find anything. I'd say it's likely that they'll get no MPs, and close to certain that they'll be in single digits. And of course, a single digit, usually the middle one, is what they're getting from most people now.
