What's everyone's opinions on the Lib Dems? They've been a butt of some jokes for a while but they don't seem so bad, and they've contributed plenty to the UK. They seem to be gaining traction as people become angry with the Tories and Labour seem to be rejecting Corbyn, who could be seen as a symbol for further left views.

Let's all contemplate the Labour Brexit strategy:
  • End to free movement
  • No second referendum
  • No UK citizen in Europe or EU citizen in the UK loses any rights
  • Continued access to the free market
  • London retains access to EU financial market, including passporting

Sounds great

The structural problems that come from having large, powerful international banks will remain if they go to France or Germany; it's just we will neither get the tax money from them nor be able to regulate them. Aiming to keep them in Britain is the only sensible choice.

Still not gonna happen though. There's no way that the EU is giving the UK free market access without freedom of movement.

Until they get rid of all the Polish people. As was posted in the June thread there's been people singing on the streets about kicking out the gays after they've finished with the Poles.

Violence is already happening and it will get worse as they get bored with just singing.

Can I point out that this is because "gays" was the only thing they could think of that vaguely rhymes with "waves", rather than any active homophobic vendetta.

The Tories are already preparing for the Jew-baiting that always comes in times of economic turmoil. The (frankly disgusting) campaign against Ed Miliband last year was a rehearsal.

'Daves' is a better rhyme and doesn't come with the historical inferences or being a poo poo person.

I'm sure he is, but the problem is the attitude of the Europeans, which can be roughly summarized in "gently caress Britain". There's very little incentive to be considerate towards British interests at this point, and the longer the government's vacillating about not invoking article 50 goes on, the more this sentiment is going to grow among the leadership.

I think I can speak for all Europeans when I say we welcome his solidly pragmatic proposition of "brits get what they want need voted for gently caress you just tell me what the papers want to hear"

Lib Dems are that kid in school who really wants everyone to like them and will do anything to prove it, not realizing that neediness is why no one likes them in the first place.

I enjoyed this when it surfaced last month - it was interesting. He raises points about Scottish independence too.

And I know that facists just love our fabulous selves (but are concerned about further flooding from God when we do heathen things like allow Gay Marriage.)

I may be incorrigible, but i'm also alive and healthy, two things that gay people and fash tend to disagree on.
