Lib Dem Polls - How Low Can They Go?

I hope he ends up with the ultimate indignity and has to do TV ads to make ends meet. I can very easily see him as the new face of DFS or making unconvincing contrived hand gestures whilst plugging the local carpet warehouse. He has that style.

Loan companies would seem more his thing, tbh.

'Do you need to borrow £9,000 for your student fees?'

£27k (at least) for the fees...and then the rest...

I imagine most marketing meetings have a bit where they go "we need face people know and trust, someone they can relate to....", Mr Clegg would be about 7 billionth on that list, just above Mr Putin

"Been bankrupted by a Lib Dem coalition? Not your fault?"

Coincidently, he told Alex Brooker that it wasn't his fault that he made promises he couldn't keep.


In reality, reckon he'll write a couple of political 'thrillers' whilst claiming £300 a day to sit on the red benches, plus lobbying fees

Yeah, it's not the lib dems fault they're in a coalition with the Conservatives, propping them up and voting through a load of damaging legislation. Not at all.

Oh but wait, the pupil premium! It was all worth it.

In her C4 News interview, last week, Jackie Long listened to all that shite from the lying fucker..and then from about 2.55 cracked and told him that he was being like "..a man who has an affair, and then tells his wife 'look what I'm doing for you now; I'm putting the bins out..."

And just below Freddie Krueger.

[DotCommunist]

The same career path as his former boss Leon Brittan. Lovely.

also to buried in an unmarked secret grave to deny us our vengeance on his corpse

They mention Tinder in the article. Also Facebook, though

I was chatting to my Dad today and remembering the old joke about the Liberal Party having so few MPs they could hold their meetings in the back of a London taxi.

I vaguely remember some sort of chart showing the longterm decline measured against size of vehicle they could all fit in, but a quick google leaves me thinking that may just have been my imagination.

Anyway, they currently have 56 MPs, which means they all could fit in a standard sized coach.

What size vehicle do we think they'll be down to come May?

ETA: current forecasts look like mid twenties, which would mean one of those midi-buses, but maybe they could go down to mini-bus, MPV or even back to the bad old Taxi days...

OV 102 ?

I think that's the answer to a different question, ie what vehicle would you like to see them travel in...

Slight exaggeration - the Liberals had 6 MPs after the 1951, 1955 and 1959 elections, then got as high as 12 in 1966, 6 again in 1970, then have been in double figures since.

According to this, they got down to five at their lowest.

In 1957 this total fell to five when one of the Liberal MPs died and the subsequent by-election was lost to the Labour Party, which selected the former Liberal Deputy Leader Lady Megan Lloyd George as its own candidate. The Liberal Party seemed close to extinction. During this low period, it was often joked that Liberal MPs could hold meetings in the back of one taxi.

I'm still hopeful that they can beat this at some point

a tumbril

Would it be too much to hope for hearse?

5% in yesterday's YG national poll...lowest in 25 years, apparently.

Going well.

Lol
