Why the lib-dems are shit

[London_Calling]

25% lib-dems, 30% labour 30% tories would do me.

Which is a hung Parliament. If you don't want a NL led hung Parliament and you "hate" the LibDems . . .

Can't you comment on something happening without endorsing it?

 

[butchersapron]

What do you think is most likely butchers?

I really don't know right now. Honestly.

 

[London_Calling]

You can say that again.

 

[butchersapron]

You can say that again.

What does the market say? That crucial £2 million?

 

[butchersapron]

You can say that again.

You were crying about a tory landslide a few months back, i was saying a hung parliament - i think i'm on safe ground.

For the promise of 'savage cuts' to public spending.

As the three main parties begin the conference season with competing proposals for how they would make spending cuts, Clegg used a Guardian interview to set out plans including a long-term freeze in the public sector pay bill, scaling back future public sector pensions, and withdrawing tax credits from the middle class. He is even prepared to examine means-testing universal child benefits, though he is cautious of destroying "middle-class solidarity" with the welfare state.

According to someone who actually works in this area, means testing would actually cost more!!

 

[Sgt Howie]

Because they propose and support contradictory policies in different areas - no central principle beyond gaining power.

This is why I utterly despise them.

What ground is that? What is it you want?

 

[butchersapron]

Safe ground as regards ongoing comment.

The lib-dem cult moves onwards and upwards:

1. I never said or thought there would be a Tory landslide
2. I did think and say the likelihood of a hung Parliament would increase as the election drew near
3. Why not respond to the direct questions rather than deflect away?
4. And just in case you get around to it, I'll try again: If you don't want a hung Parliament but do want the distribution of votes that will result in a hung Parliament, and you don't want a NL led hung Parliament and also hate the LibDems, what do you want?

You were crying like a baby about the expense scandal helping the tories, Don't re-write history. I've told you what breakdown i'd 'like' to see - and guess what, its a hung parliament, so why you say that i don't want a HP i don't know. Concentrate on your work.

I do want a hung Parliament.

Because Sandra "First Class" Gidley has made it her personal hobby to discredit and destroy my local NHS trusts.

Fortunately she's not my candidate. So despite the above I'll be voting orangey-yellow. Almost all the major partys' candidates are shit, but the tories fucked the country up for 18 years, labour have had 13 years to screw it up royally, it's time for someone else to betray the electorate, sell out, and bomb small brown countries.

 

[butchersapron]

You're a bit daft them.

 

[Corax]

I'm actually Paul Gascoigne.

Okay, it was flippant. I forgot to justify myself to U75's political elite.

The Lib Dem's are not much better than the other 2, if at all.

However. They stood against the Iraq war. This is important to me.
They were less caught up in the expenses shit. Admittedly, they have less MPs so it's all proportional, but I found this slightly encouraging (forever the optimist).
They'll scrap Trident. I'm all for this. I'm a pacifist, so sue me.
They want to scrap FPTP in favour of a form of PR. This is probably the most attractive part of their policies, for me.

And they won't get into power, but a vote for them may contribute towards a hung parliament. I want a more cooperative and less adversarial style to our government, so that's the most attractive result, for me.

I'm sure that's probably still 'daft' or 'drivel' or something to you butchers. Never mind eh.

 

[ernestolynch]

Here's your chance to post up why the lib-dems are shit - personalities and policies.

Starters - Nick Clegg supports private education and health-care, has used the latter to jump NHS ques and has said he will use the former to transmit his own massive privilege to his sons.

Because their Liberal Youth wing are behind some web campaign against Lukashenko's anti-IMF popular government in Belarus. Garnering support from wealthy exiles to usher in bourgeoise capitalism.

You want the scumbags to agree to fuck us allover more easily, free of tribal loyalty?

 

[chazegee]

God dam, stop being such Anarchists. I was thinking of polling my thumb out my arse and voting for the first time ever. You know, to stop Cameron and to stop Labour. And now, Urban, (where frankly I get some assistance for my weak political mind) is defaming the LD's! Fak!

 

[Corax]

You're unhealthily intent on swinging your dick at me butchers.

You want the scumbags to agree to fuck us allover more easily, free of tribal loyalty?

Can you suggest a better option than a hung parliament that may realistically happen?

You'd prefer a majority tory/lab/lib government?

My ideal isn't anything that's likely to happen. Pragmatism has to come into play.

 

[Lo Siento.]

the worst, absolutely worst thing about the Lib Dems, is that people think it's radical to vote for them.

This is turning into one of those daft Twitter campaigns where everyone thinks, oooh, wouldn't it be interesting/a laugh if we all voted DimLeb.

 

[tbaldwin]

The Lib Dems are shit because they supported saddam hussein and want to give more money to the most educationally privelleged, eg HE students.....They also oppose ID cards and oppose bringing back hanging etc.

I can hear you crying already.

Read your post i was responding to.

[butchersapron]

Now read my response to that. Bearing your wish in mind. It's not that bad - it's an argument that your wish becomes a nightmare.

 

[Fedayn]

Because they're cunts.

Of course it could. It's just the least worst option imo. The system's fucked, we all know that.
