Why the lib-dems are shit

[strung out]

Any facebook types want to do a I voted Lib Dem - and I wish I hadn’t group?

i would, but i'd have to join it to create it

If the LibDems ever had any convictions you would be able to read about them in the newspaper reports of the court proceedings. They think that they are in a coalition but really they are hostages. Also these hostages are showing signs of Stockholm Syndrome.

You give them too much credit. They're the ones driving this shit. They're the hard right of the coalition. They were before.

Which would be a lie, the perfect start point for the lib-dems focus group.

i think more people will avoid signing up to save the embarrassment of making it known they voted for them in the first place (and that includes me and probably all other protest voters)

from the sunday times:

almost the entire £8 billion social housing budget is to be axed

another u-turn from the pledge

 

[butchersapron]

It's almost too easy now.

If the Lib-Dems were selling their convictions and manifesto commitments for something of value, you could understand although not condone it.
That they are selling themselves for the tiniest sniff of power, in a way that benefits no-one except the parliamentary Lib-Dem party is truly shameful.

Rise in capital gains tax, reducing the tax burden on the poorest and £7bn for poor kids to help them through education and a vote on AV, scrapping the Housing Revenue Account.

You would have none of this if people hadn't voted Lib Dem.

 

[butchersapron]

What else would we not have, list them here:

a crippling cuts agenda aimd that the poorest.

a) so what

b) a lie, it's a tax break forthe rich

C)in no way.

d) oh yeah, you've jist been reading your book of what to say. Tell us then. When labour set up the review that was told to abolish it.

Why, what's the trick?

[butchersapron]

Oh, i get it, they take on central debt to make the lib-dems and tories figures look good. You can't even do good stuff right.

[moon23]

Yep -that's it laid bare.

That's why you are fucked.

Doesn't matter what we say 'we are in Government.' WE can lie and lie we are in Government.

This is true. I can't find the page now, but a while ago on UK Polling Report there was a poll where they asked people every month who they voted for in the 2010 general election. The number of people saying Lib Dem was dropping month on month. So either people are increasingly reluctant to admit to voting LD, or people have managed to convince themselves that they didn't. I think the same will hold true for this Facebook group.
