Why the lib-dems are shit

[Tacit Apathy]

Anything supportive of the lib-dems in any fashion, of past or future actions, idea or personalities - is inherently a perfect example of murderous centrist grown up adult sensible extremism.

You'll have to forgive me, I'm new here - I'll to try and avoid murderous sentiments in the future

Unlikely. We've not had anyone new here since about 2012

News to me, I found the forum through a 2009 post from ChrisC about Alastair Reynold's Revelation Space series at about 5:30AM this morning. Never seen nor heard of it prior to that, and the fact that it was a UK forum caught my interest and I browsed further. Now here I am, talking about why the Lib Dems are shit

FYI the forum rules state that you are not allowed to post any opinions which may disagree with the sentiment of the relevant thread title.

If you start a thread called "why the lib-dems are OK really" you'll find that no-one comes on there to disagree with that.

They're really that unpopular here, ey? I'll keep my extremist dreams of pluralist representative politics on the side then

its a lie , or a trap , or both

Everything is unpopular here, except for proposals for things that will never happen, although if they did happen, there'd be a thread about why they are no good.

Only one way to find out.

My kind of place then.

 

[killer b]

Lib-dem IRON FIST:

I was having a drink when I read that and laughed so it came out of my nose onto my desk. Might add that to the why the lib dems are shit thread, I hate it when that happens.

Edit: this is the lib dems are shit thread and I am a twat.

Further development: the Queen wasn't available, so Swinson's met with Deputy Queen Hans Gruber and has agreed to execute all the hostages.

The % of LD MPs with no mandate form their constituents = 20% and rising.

Been looking up this Phillip Lee chap and I knew they name rang a bell. He seems to have a bit of a track record of homophobia. Obviously not a problem for the lib dems.

Surely it would help him feel at home - Hughes, Williams, Farron.

Lib Dems' LGBT chair resigns over Lee defection

Jennie Rigg, chair of the Lib Dems LGBT group, says on Twitter that she has sent an email to the membership resigning after the party accepted Phillip Lee as an MP. Among her concerns is his support in 2014 for banning HIV-positive immigrants from Britain. In a blogpost, Ms Rigg accused him of being a "homophobe, a xenophobe, and someone who thinks people should be barred from the country if they are ill".

What were the Lib Dems like before Swinson turned them into this?

 

[teqniq]

Not much better in all honesty.

Tory-enabling cunts, mostly.

Have a look at her voting record and you'll get the gist of what her party was like before her election as leader.

It's hilarious to see the Chukas descend on the Lib Dumbs - they're still going to lose their fucking seats.

My partner of over 35 years announced that he quite liked Jo Swinson and would vote for her. Horrified and startled, I pulled down the above 'They work for you' site, reading off her voting positions, getting more irate as I went down the list, practically levitating when I shouted that she had voted against support for 16-19 year olds (very pertinent to us and our particular 16-19 year old at the time). I called him a nit wit, an idiot and worse when I was then accused of 'only reading the bad stuff' and challenged to find something positive (could only come up with bankers bonuses and some same sex marriage) so was then told I was just reading some 'diss sheet'. Aghast silence. He has stomped off to bed. I am sitting here, contemplating a fucking night on the sofa I am so horrified.

He is never going to vote for anyone, tbf, as he isn't on the electoral register...but FFS - The Lib Dems.
