Why the lib-dems are shit

[Dogsauce]

Is that Rolf Harris second left above his shoulder?

Anyone booked work off for Wednesday's close of voting in the Leadership election?

Excitement mounting?

No idea why Smithson's graphic title says 2021.

And who the hell knows where those 'polls' are coming from?????

Small changes amongst an ultra-tiny 'electorate' can produce disproportionately huge swings, I guess??

Betfair punters on niche political outcomes; can’t be a huge number, can it?

 

[Petcha]

Unbelievably, they've just eschewed the opportunity to vote in a young, charismatic, female leader in favour of ed davey, a man with the charisma of a very very dead fish.

I had assumed it was a formality that his tenure was very much a stop-gap. Idiots.

 

[Streathamite]

Quite possibly the least meaningful election of the decade. And likely to stay that way.

Here’s Paul Mason’s dribble:

Yeah about as meaningfull as a ukip leadership election.

tbh, most Momentum members are embarrassed at Mason's continued cosying up to them. They think he's a bit of a nutter (well, the ones I've spoken to).

So, Sir Keir and Sir Edward will be battling to take the Red Wall...

Cant say I blame them

I haven't got a clue about the policy differences between moran and davey - who cares? It's all irrelevant, but in a battle between a suit and a not quite as much a suit, you'd have probably gone for the latter. The bigger issue for me in that scenario would be why the fucking fuck am I a Libdem member?

Some people are just really attracted to lost causes.
It's hard to imagine anyone getting very excited about this, The opinions of the Libdems are currently no more relevant to national politics than the ones expressed on U75, How Ed Daveys thinks he might rebuild them is beyond me.

...How Ed Daveys thinks he might rebuild them is beyond me.

He knows where the EU CAP Mandarins dump their wet lettuce.

if you read the papers carefully, you will find in every one, from the sun and the star through to the heavyweight broadsheets, reference made to opinions which have been aired first here.

you cannot say the same of the golden shower.

 

[moochedit]

How many people voted in this contest? Did they get into double figures?

Fair enough they're even less relevant than we are, this does not bode well for Ed's plans.

 

[teuchter]

Portions of urban75 now so deluded that they think these forums play a more significant role in UK politics than the Lib Dems.

Get a grip.

It was about 40k to 20k I think. 'I know! I'll vote in the Libdem leadership election!' Lockdown does funny things to some people.

even your concerns about toilets without locks have been taken up by newspapers, there was an article about it in the guardian on 27 may last year

have you ever seen any of the golden shower's views on toilets make it into the local let alone national press?

 

[moochedit]

Our time has come urb's! go back to your constituencies and prepare for government!

or in teuchter's case, go back to your toilet and lock the door.

I am a member of Momentum and I am not at all embarrassed, as I was unaware that Paul Mason was cosying up to me or my comrades. Where does this "cosying" occur? This comment seems to me more evidence that for the observation that people in certain online goldfish bowls falsely believe that they are engaging with the world at large.

 

[Wilf]

Anyway, why did they spend all those billions on that Hadron Collider? Should have just got Sir Edward and Sir Keir to bump into each other. Perfect vacuum, piece of piss.

I expect this insight to be taken up by Nature and other leading science periodicals.

OK, what I meant by that is that Mason. for quite some time now, has been engaged in shameless, all-out online boosterism of the Momentum end of Labour, and generally trying to cosy up to them.
However, it's been pretty much one-way traffic. I have found Momentum members (who I campign with on various individeual issues) to be either embarrassed by his antics or simply u naware of them, like you.

Given their collective inability to think creatively, I'm sure denizens of the golden puddle (calling them a shower credits them with a dynamism that they clearly lack), have been as keen to lift ideas and opinions from here as the aforementioned members of the Fourth Estate.

And of course, it shouldn't be forgotten that U75 was the springboard of Baron Paddick's career of political failure.

While my thoughts and views might be highly influential on the UK/world stage, even this is not enough to offset the rest of the postership's irrelevance to mainstream affairs.

Thanks. That is a relief. I was getting worried that people were conspiring behind my back.
