There were pro cannabis comments or policies from the Lib dems last time, I don't give a flying f*** because one, the liklihood of them getting a majority is a little bit slim, two I don't trust them to keep their promises and three, the idea that they're making some kind of brave moral stand for what they think is right is funnier than Chris Rock when he's particularly inspired.

I don't think many people would argue de-criminalising drug use was a bad thing, I suspect it's cheaper to treat someone who wants it than take them through the courts.
But I do think there is massive inconsistency in drug policy, legal or otherwise.
I've never understood why government wants to put cigarettes in packaging with rotten lungs on them but alcohol gets a free pass despite. Yes booze kills 7%-10% of what cigarettes do, but I've never seen someone get in a fight because they've smoked too many Silk Cut; Alcohol Concern claim about half of victims of violent crime believed their attackers were under the influence of alcohol.
It's not just the backy which is wacky.

All aboard the 303 bus.
I watched that drugs live thing the other day and they asked an anti decriminilisation police chief his thoughts about decriminalising..... He just kept bleeding on about youths on estates....
What strikes me about anti decriminalisation types is when you talk to them, they either miss the point entirely, or say it should remain criminalised because decriminalisation doesn't benefit them.

My comment had nothing to do with voting lib Dem did it? I was was referring to what he said about the negative impact of drug prohibition. You think ecstasy pills manufactured with pma is a good thing then?

He'd said that in a previous post. Not the one I 'bigged up' which was exclusively about the negative impact of drug prohibition. If I'd said "well said" to his comment about voting lib dem you'd have a point.

Exactly.
I think what this thread really needs now is for someone to write new lyrics for Nick Clegg's cover of this track
I was going to do it, but then...

That's not a niche interest. Any thread that mentions the lib dems is a thread for laughing at the lib dems.

Cannabis and MDMA (to name two drugs) shouldn't be decriminalised - they should be fully legalised and regulated.

Why are people so delusional about party commitments in a coalition government?
The libdems were never going to get everything they wanted, it's politics. If the students were so pissed off with Clegg why didn't they occupy Trafalgar sq....now that would've been interesting.

Yup. And it's not like the Lib Dems had the chance to implement policies alone. I'd love to know which parties the Lib Dem haters on here will be voting for...

So many particulars. So many questions.
if only there was a thread asking of voting intentions for 2015
What?

Hardly getting over it.
While they were never, as you say, going to "get everything they wanted", they had choices to make, and chose to resile from a pledge that bought them extra seats, in favour of personal aggrandisement for the upper hierarchy of the party, and some promises about electoral reform. In a business legendary for horse-trading, they swapped a decent hunter for an emphysemic pit pony.

desperate attempt to get back the student vote - yes you are paying a fortune in fees (my bad) but here - smoke a fat one and forget about those pesky debts

Thanks for that, gives it some perspective, who knows whether it was something they could make a deal on?

Yellow slime? Potential Lib Dem voters, if they get the policies right? You mean the Lib Dems might not deliver on all promises - just like every other political party, ever. Go on, give us a laugh and tell us who your vote might potentially go to.
