If anybody needed a clearer example of just how bizarre our political reality has become, this is it!
A party calling itself the Liberal Democrats hoping to cancel a majority vote by the people, and handing power back to an unaccountable globalist regime.

"We will stop brexit"
Just coming out and admitting it now, if you ever get your hands on one of them make it worthwhile going to prison for I say No holding back |

At least they're honest. A large percentage of Parliament would agree with their stance.
Utterly shameful. They apparently know better than us. They don't trust us, they despise us. They hate Britain and her people. They're neither liberal nor are they democratic. They are intolerant, selective democrats. |
|
By:
What they fail to understand is that by their definition of democracy if they returned a majority at the next election there would have to be another election just in case a percentage of the electorate had changed their mind

Ought to be renamed Lib-(un)Dem for totally ignoring the result of 2016 Referendum.

If they were to get elected on it, surely that'd be a pretty clear democratic mandate to revoke.

If they were to get elected on it, surely that'd be a pretty clear democratic mandate to revoke. Why ? Is that their one and only policy ?  |
|
By:
that would be illegal
|
|
By:
I was told on this forum that the next general election would serve as a second referendum if Brexit hasn't happened yet at the time.
|
|
By:
no that will only be the case if we leave
|
|
By:
its simply a means to get the remailers out of parliament
|
|
By:
it is not a case of having an election to rerun the refedrendum
its just a means to get the **** out |
|
By:
Lib(un)Dem getting elected? Not in a million years; Brexiteers (Tory and Labour) will never vote for them. One thing I will give them though: It's definitive, but it's non-democratic and negative for the Party.
|
|
By:
I'm voting for them and I was a leave voting tory. I won't be alone.
|

By:
Hanx's assertion of a clear example could, of course, also apply to conservative as in "not usually liking or trusting change, especially sudden change". This may be why we're still in the EU. They've had over 3 years to leave , starting with Cameron, on to May and now Boris. Our bizarre political reality personified with them too eh?
|
|
By:
a thoroughly cynical attempt to capitalize on labour's hopeless attempt to keep on side their northern leave voters and metropolitan remainers and looks like it will work to the extent they'll get a lot more MPs at the next election but also a good chance of a tory majority by destroying labour's chances
as others have said they are only liberal in so much as you agree with their very narrow concept of liberalism and certainly not democrats |
|
By:
Just another power hungry group that totally goes against their own support.
|
|
By:
Absolutely agree with the general consensus on here. If there was an inappropriately named party this is it. Being neither liberal nor democratic they should now re-name themselves the ABADs - the Anti-Brexit Anti-Democracy party.
|
|
By:
they should rename themselves the MUTT Party; they take any stray off the street & give them a home. The latest Sam Gymkhana should face a by-election forthwith. His constituents voted to leave & here he is signed up with the MUTTs. He's not going to last long anyway come an election, but that's not the point. He's a disgrace, & so are the LD's for giving him shelter

i have some shocking news.........we live in a liberal democracy
|
|
By:
The good thing about Brexit is that highlighted the ineptitude of the British political system and as set in motion it's demise.
|
|
By:
i think it has highlighted the strength of parliament. dictators need not apply

By:
liberal: 'willing to respect or accept behaviour or opinions different from one's own; open to new ideas.'
Well, to be fair, it's new for Britain to reject the outcome of a vote! (Common in countries ruled by despots). Definition of democracy : 'government by the people especially : rule of the majority' How does Swinson keep a straight face..makeup? |
|
By:
In the decades before the coalition government in 2010, people became Liberal MPs because it was a cushy job with little likelihood of ever having the responsibility of power.
Furthermore a Liberal MP would never be put on the spot over their party's policies, because they were all more or less neutral with little chance of them ever being implemented. In short, they became Liberal MPs for an easy life. What kind of person is that to vote for? |
|
By:
I'm voting for them and I've never voted before bar the EU referendum. The other choices are national poverty under a compulsive liar or extreme national poverty under an imbecile, so it's quite simple really.
|
|
By:
Or the other option is not to vote at all ,if we all stick to that ,surely it would put the cat amongst the pigeons... ?
|
|
By:
It's a democracy, the government has effectively lost it's majority and in a general election we can all vore for whom we want, although some on here seem to think we shouldn't be able to.
If you are a cloth eared BREXIT supporter still you were never going to vote for the LDs. I actually think Labour's idea is the most sensible one, (aside from the fact otherwise they'd be a disaster) but in this day and age it's all about populism, tub thumping and grabbing the limelight, not being sensible and fair minded, as we've seen with Nigel Farage, Boris, Trump and Corbyn. So in that regard the LDs move is essential. They need to grab headlines. |
|
By:
Well condor the old saying used to be, ''a vote for the liberals is a wasted vote.''
Or at most, a protest vote against the two main parties. |
|
By:
The simpler the message, the more it resonates. (unfortunately)
|

By:
While we're on the subject of liars, didn't Nick Clegg the former Lib/Dem leader have to apologise to the nation after breaking his word on tuition fees?
|
|
By:
We should all lodge a protest vote then
|
|
By:
Nick Clegg apologises to the nation.

Shouldn't vote for politicians anyway. It only encourages them.
|
|
By:
KC, in some countries people had died in the past just for a chance to vote eg Mendela. Thus use it t vote out those you do not agree with (at least).

Will stop Brexit on day 1 should they hold a majority in the commons. PMSL

Gotta admire their approach . Basically turning the next General Election into a 'People's Vote'
 |

By:
Spinning it into a peoples vote
So when its another hung parliament there's no major side that's won, so this whole charade carries on for another 2 or 3 years |
