Lib Dem Polls - How Low Can They Go?

An indication of how low a small party that props up a a cutting govt va actually go has just been given by the Green results the Irish elections - wiped out. And the lib-dems have been doing more than propping up...they'll get a hefty bit of the -24% stick that FF got hit with too

Off topic but exactly the same fate is now being set in stone for the Irish Labour party. Round and round and round we go.
 
They seem to have stalled on a disapointing 10%. This needs sorting out... Do they have any major manifesto pledges left to make a humiliating u-turn on?
 
i considered reading the manifesto to see what was left, but couldn't even get past the front page without wanting to stab my eyes out.

the four key pledges on the cover: :facepalm:

fair taxes
that put money back in your pocket

a fair future
creating jobs by making Britain greener

a fair chance
for every child

a fair deal
by cleaning up politics

they aren't doing well, are they?
 
i can't find anyone offering odds atm. i think you'd be best spending your money on stamps to send turds to nick clegg's office.

Which goes to show that a favourable voting system won't help you if everyone hates you. AV wouldn't safe the LDs either.
 
It would allow the tories to save them - and for the lib-dems to return the favour where they can. That's the whole point of preferences - as you've just spend a thousand post ineptly arguing.
 
sorry one last pop - But if the Tories are also in freefall (like FF) they can't protect the LDs (like the Irish Greens). So it wouldn't happen.
 
And one last one from me - you've also spent the last thousand posts arguing that the tories are not in free fall and in such a strong position that even without AV they will win an outright majority. You can't even keep your story straight.

*Ends*
 
I'm making no predictions - if they're not in freefall, it goes to show how important AV could be in depriving them of a majority. If they *are* in freefall, then they can't protect the LDs. Whichever is true, result is good.

Which would you rather have the excitement of a turd through the letter box, or the tedium of a walk through a Forestry Commision plantation?

I think you have to be pretty twisted to enjoy walking through a Forestry Commision plantation or to post shit to someone working in an MPs office.
 
You have to be pretty twisted to enjoy being a lib-dem activist. Not only shafting the public but lying to their faces over why it is necessary.
