Lib Dem Polls - How Low Can They Go?

[ericjarvis]

now and again you read of some unfortunate who has tumbled out of a window and impaled themselves on some inconveniently placed railings. it's always a disappointment when you read the reports and realise it isn't moon23

Really? I'm always disappointed it isn't Nick Clegg. I'm still hoping we'll find out he was on a secret junket to Sendai last night.

Lib-dems beaten by BNP again - this time in Burnley and this time from first place.

Lab 521 (43.1; +11.8)
BNP 288 (23.8; +5.5)
LD 261 (21.6; -11.8)
Con 81 (6.7; -10.2)
Ind 58 (4.8; +4.8)

These 10+% swing from lib-dems are going to destroy them - and it's week after week after week right now - they cannpt be wished away as due to local conditions. Beaten by the BNP twice, the Greens once and the bloody NF once in a two week period.

I wonder if they will choose this shitbag for leicester south

Aaron Porter, the outgoing president of the National Union of Students, who spearheaded protests against tuition fees rising to £9,000, is preparing to launch a bid to become Labour MP for Leicester South.

He is expected to put his name forward to become the party's candidate in the forthcoming by-election, triggered by Sir Peter Soulsby, who has a 8,800 majority, standing down. Mr Porter studied in Leicester for three years and would make "youth opportunity" central to his campaign. His main rival for selection is Jonathan Ashworth, head of party relations for Labour leader Ed Miliband. Mr Porter announced last month he would not be standing for re-election as NUS leader in April. The deadline for nominations is tomorrow.

 

[butchersapron]

He has no chance, not with 14 000 full time students plus loads of part timers in the seat. Labour have managed to avoid being tainted with the feed stuff so far, they'll surely not risk being associated with by selecting this dick.

 

[killer b]

fucking hell. he didn't waste any time did he. did soulsby stand down before porter announced he wasn't going to run again btw...? if so, i reckon he may have been given the nod. fucking idiots.

Managed to glimpse Clegg telling the conference the lib dems weren't "left or right wing but on the centre".

EDITED Someone already made the point about Porter. Oops!

One would hope not, but we all know selection panels can make some very strange decisions

 

[butchersapron]

Not with Ed Miliband's best mate also standing for selection...

ah yes....good point, time to play suck-up-to-Ed

YouGov/Sun – CON 35, LAB 44, LDEM 9

`Forward, the Light Brigade!'
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Some one had blunder'd:
Their's not to make reply,
Their's not to reason why,
Their's but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

Standing ovation - twice..

 

[Refused as fuck]

Twice as mentally ill as the Tories.

[Roonster]

How low can you go?.. campaign against tuition fees, campaign against NHS "shake up"..campaign for amnesty for immigrants.. and then do the opposite.. that is low!

Why would he pick a University seat? He must be an idiot.

you utter prick. Those are NEEDED public services you're weaselling on-things people NEED

£446,575,342 per day, that is how much we are getting into debt. You are the prick who thinks it's better we spent money servicing our debt interest payments than on Hospitals, Schools and services.
