They got a taste of power by forming a coalition with the devil and absolutely hosed their entire base by letting the conservatives do whatever they wanted for 5 years.

They weren't, really, just a bit hopeless. Then in 2010 they formed a coalition with the Tories, David Cameron stuck his arm all the way up Nick Clegg's arse and played him like a Spitting Image puppet of himself, and basically they were Tory lapdogs for five years.

Labour are not just gaining seats, they're increasing their majorities in Labour marginals. If there's another election in the near future they're gonna be starting from a much better base.

Lib Dems under Nick "Gone hosed it" Clegg formed a coalition with pigfucker extraordinaire "dodgy" Dave Cameron, and his Conservative Bullingdon Club pals in an effort to live out his boyhood dream of being a Conservative MP.

Net result, no one likes the Lib Dems anymore.

Except for right-wing parties that would support tories? Yea. Some will be wanting the SNP gone but in SNP/Tory areas that's going to gently caress us over.

They used to be a fairly safe middle of the road party, no real chance of winning but you could feel fairly good about yourself by voting for them

Then the first tiny sniff of power and they jumped in bed with the cunts, principles be damned

Now they're just taking votes away from Labour which is essentially a tory vote

Their policies aren't, but many people don't trust them due to them entering a coalition with the tories and voting along with them on tuition fee increases.

Plus the first past the post system means that, with them being a smaller relatively progressive party, they can split the progressive vote.

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Philip Davies has gone and he is one of the absolute biggest scumbags (who used to be) in parliament. He fillibustered a bill to get first aid added to the curriculum. There is good evidence wider knowledge of cpr saves lives.

Based on my outsider super accurate analysis of this election campaign: hung parliament resulting in another election is good, because the longer voters have to look at Teresa May's face, the worse the conservatives will do
