Why the lib-dems are shit

[DotCommunist]

if as it looks likely the lib dems are cast into the outer darkness at the next election- what then for the body of voters they once had? back to labour, perhaps forming some sdp type tendency within the labour party itself?

No need or space for that really. 40% labour voting, rest non-voter or swing voter as conditions dictate. Members, slowly dying off. No new membership. Game over really.

Only the LibDems can beat the [standing party] in [your constituency]. The [other party] don't have a chance!

Delightful how you can put Lib Dems in the first and last blank space and the message remains true.

Hello everyone and it's great to be here in [town name] tonight. I always like a couple of drinks before I come on stage, so this afternoon I popped into [insert name of rough pub here - ask local theatre staff]. Blimey! - I think it was their quiz night, and the first question was 'Do you want your fucking head kicked in!'

Lib-dems got 13 votes in Staffordshire Moorland, Cellarhead last night. Only 3 more than need to sign the nomination forms. So effectively 3 votes.

that suggests that over half the nominators couldn't even get their partners to vote lib dem.

I think suggesting they may have partners is over optimistic.

Full result here. Blimey.

Sold their core vote out for fuck all

 

[Balbi]

Those 13 votes are on top of not fielding a candidate three years ago too. Oof.

Who is in the pic behind him - that could be key here. Might be some sectarian nutjob.

Shouldn't he have cleaned and oiled it first?

Was only the other day wondering what had happened to this sorry tale...and low, the Shit dems have been busy trying to smooth over the consequences of Rennard's behaviour with secret meetings. How very liberal.

Lord Rennard, the former Liberal Democrat chief executive, and the four party activists who have accused him of sexual misconduct have been in secret talks to resolve the dispute, the Guardian has learned.

Scumbag wants the 40p tax rate back, and grumbles about the large unaffordable state.

Positioning himself for a transition to the Tories and a safe by election seat after the next election.

Another one for the lamppost.

Look at this hancock related stuff:

With a QC having found “compelling prima facie evidence” that Mike Hancock sexually harassed a vulnerable constituent, the Portsmouth MP and councillor was finally suspended from the Liberal Democrats after the confidential report was leaked — not that this has made much difference in practice.

As reported by Scrapbook previously, Hancock, who denies the allegations:

• still attends Lib Dem group meetings
• still sits in the middle of the Lib Dem group in council

As expected, council leader Gerald Vernon-Jackson has also confirmed that the Lib Dems will be standing in every ward in the city for May’s local elections … except the one that Mike Hancock is defending.

Followed as speaker at Pensioner's AGM by @geraldvjuk who confirmed that#libdems will not be standing against Mike Hancock in May.

To top it off he’s still printing Liberal Democrat-style ‘Focus’ leaflets (above) with the exact same graphic design.

He’s still a party candidate in all but name.

Someone on Twitter told me that he was a lib-dem because he wanted to smash the current system

tbf, if by that he meant the public sector or welfare state, he'd wouldn't be far off, really.
