Should you vote Liberal?

Here's an interesting list, for those who want a Libdem resurgence.

I think Stanley changed his mind about the Tories because of environmental concerns.

and now we hear that if the Conservatives win the election, Teresa May may well take the opportunity to boot Boris out of the Cabinet.

Well, Stanley must have changed then
He is a former Conservative member of the European Parliament (MEP)
and stood for Parliament as a Tory in 2005:
The Liberal Democrat MP in Teignbridge, Richard Younger-Ross, was defending a 3,000 majority against the Tory candidate Stanley Johnson, father of the Tory MP Boris Johnson.

Rachel Johnson Joins Lib Dems In Extraordinary Rebuff To Brother Boris Over Brexit
(Huff Post)

Is she not allowed to make up her own mind?
Why is it rebuffing her brother?
She said at the time of the referendum that the family were pro-Remain and that she spent a weekend with Boris as he agonised over his decision.
Are family members not allowed to think differently and respect each other's views?

The press publishes a load of twaddle.

Interesting to hear Vince Cables view on the Economy.

It is possible to support a different party from friends, family , aquatances, without sharpening claws

Vince Cable predicts second economic storm

As this article starts:
Remember back in 2003, when Vince Cable was saying that at some point the economy would collapse because of the amount of consumer credit? Well, he was right then and he’s now saying that we could be up for another Brexit fuelled crash.
you may find it worth a read.

Zac Golsmith is standing in his old seat!
Good reason to vote liberal in that constituency.

The other two threads are Should I ..... This one is Should You..... Any particular reason, whitewave?

DH and I could come to blows (metaphorically speaking of course) and DB is on the other end of a phone.

Grumppa, I think she would have got stick if she had said "should one....?"

That wasn't the question. Why aren't all three threads either 'should I' or should you'?

Although whitewave doesn't appear to be here at the moment.

I know that, Ana. Just trying to inject a bit of humour.

I imagine Grumppa, although I don't know, that having started the others and found the information we have so far on what the parties are offering for us she just did it differently without thinking. Does it really matter?

Except that this one appears to be the first thread she started. Probably forgot...

Yes, I imagine so Ana but ww is off on her hols now so we may never know.

Don't actually care...

I'll await the manifesto .....

Go on then, off you go.....

And you - don't see you posting much on this thread durhamjen...

Gracesgran, I think Richard Murphy has also predicted what Vince Cable did.
I do hope they are not right, but fear they might be.

I agree that if we continue down the route set out for us it may well happen Jen.

Just talking at home Jen, about our young people thinking they will have to leave the country to get a job, the unnecessary deaths in Care that are already happening and how I would be able to pay for my medical care when the day comes. Rather depressing if it wasn't for my family being with me.

None of my (our) young people think they'll have to leave the country to get a job. Are your young people somehow different or more 'qualified'?

Fortunately for them, Gracesgran, my children and grandchildren are quite cosmopolitan anyway, so not worried about whether they would have to go abroad.
My eldest son was made redundant last year, so he can go and teach in Europe when his wife gets treated the same way.
In fact if they all go ahead with their plans, I might end up having to get a passport again, having been without one for over ten years.
Got to look at things positively.
