Should you vote Liberal?

Tim is actually quite good on TV and is improving. I think he comes over as sincere and enthusiastic. Those aren't bad characteristics when so many politicians seem scripted.

Has he passed the children test? I can't recall seeing him with children.

It's Europe Day tomorrow. Celebrate while you still can!

Maybe not, but I'm sure he does fluffy kittens!

Is that the Dover wall, daphne?

Here you go...

Yes, it is. Banksy has said it's one of his. The workman is chiselling off one of the stars

Children and dolls! That's a good one.

It's also Liberation Day in the Channel Isles, and Peace Day in Armenia tomorrow.
Careful on Wednesday - Beltane full moon.

There's a thing. Should I vote for Tim or not?
The problem is, up here, voting for libdems could let a Tory in!

Mind, Corbyn is good with children, too. Have you seen him reading Going on a Bear Hunt?

Nick Clegg claims Brexit campaign ‘was biggest con trick in politics’

An excellent article and interview, Gracesgran.
I agree with the response that says true democracy would be having another vote when we know the scale of Brexit.
After all, what are the Brexiters afraid of?

Indeed Jen. You get the feeling that they may be aware they have conned the country once but could not do it again.

Careful -you're not supposed to criticise brexit. The angry brexiters will tell you to "pack it in!"

I am just saying it as I see it varian.

I was a remainer, I am a remainer and I will remain - a remainer. Being on the losing side does not mean you have to compromise your principles and pretend you support the insupportable.

However I am not a remoaner and I believe we should make the best of the bad decision that has been made.

Well said, MOnica. Having said that, I'd be jumping for joy, if a fairy came along and said it had all been a nightmare and the clocks were being turned back a year.

LibDem policy is to look at the negotiated deal and its consequenses, then ask "deal or no deal?" NOT meaning bad deal or appalling deal (jumping off the cliff to become an offshore tax haven for billionaires and forget everyone else). The choice should be "this deal or stay as we are with all the benefits of being in the EU?"

Theresa May has changed her mind about all sorts of things - IN/OUT, election/no election, various policies which were rubbish when UKIP or Labour proposed them but are now those of a "strong and stable Theresa May Team" manifesto.

If she can change her mind what is wrong with asking those who voted for a pig in a poke to think again when they are finally told what that vote could lead to?

M0nica I will echo your post.

There is nothing else to do about spilt milk but mop it up and carry on.

Good news for Libdems.

The leaked version of the Labour manifesto has confirmed Jeremy Corbyn's Labour won’t give the people the final say on the Brexit deal. This comes after Jeremy Corbyn made clear that Labour believes Britain must leave the EU whatever the agreement reached, in an interview with BBC Look North.

Former Liberal Democrat party president Simon Hughes said: “Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour has waved the white flag and given Theresa May a blank cheque to pursue a divisive Brexit. Now this leaked manifesto confirms they are refusing to give the British people the final say over the Brexit deal, no matter how bad.

A better future is available. The Liberal Democrats will stand up to Theresa May’s cold, mean-spirited Britain and against a bad Brexit deal that will cost jobs and put up prices. We will give you the final say on Brexit – with the option to stay in if you don't like the deal on offer."

Ooh, I see the LibDems are planning to legalise cannabis in their manifesto! That should get a few of the 18-24s into the ballot box...

And some of the older ones seem to be in favour

I would have thought it might be quite attractive to some 60 - 70 year olds and certainly to some for medicinal reasons Ana. It would help to get the really strong stuff off the streets too.

Now all you need is for Tim Farron to become PM.
