"A poll indicating the liberal democrats are a very small swing away from a general election majority, at this time of year, in this part of the country, located entirely within your office?" "Yes!" "May I see it?" "No."

goddamnedtwisto posted:Jo Swinson is on R4 claiming that the Lib Dems have internal polling showing that they're only "a very small swing" from winning hundreds of seats. I mean, she kinda has to say things like that. Bit difficult to fight an election while holding yourself out to be one of the major options and then say "Frankly people, we don't have a chance of winning". The Lib Dems only need a few % bigger swing from what ths polls currently say than Labour does...

I really hope labour remember to point out that austerity was a Tory and lib dem project, I feel a lot of people need to be reminded.

In the bizarre case that the entire country gets brain spiders and votes the Lib Dems into power, who even would take up cabinet positions? They don't have enough members currently to have a full shadow cabinet do they? Are we expecting complete nobodies to become Foreign Secretary?

Honestly it's a bit of a shite organisation, and the local lot round here are pretty useless, but they are an excellent campaign machine & help unify the left vote so it's worth joining just to chuck then some dues for campaigning & get the emails saying how to vote, where to campaign, &c

They have 18 MP's now iirc, and a bare-minimum cabinet consists of a PM & 22 ministers, not including junior ministers, whips, etc. If they were to win power then of course they'd have enough MP's, but they'd be filling top positions with people who have likely never been an MP or even been to Westminister before. That's such a bad recipe for a new government I'm not sure Armando Iannucci would have written about it.

If the current Libdem parliamentary trend continues, I'm sure they'll be able to borrow enough suitably qualified Tories.

Just checked how my new constituency has voted previously and it's fairly solidly Labour, in 2017 by about 5000 votes so looks like I'm in a good place to help that majority! Bring this fucker on.

There are PMQs today but expect every Tory to have had their Crosby chip updated to parrot whatever slogan they've been given as if they've come up with it themselves Is there any specific fund/CLP you can donate to for a decapitation effort in Uxbridge or is that a bung to Momentum?

Nice piece of fish posted:"Boris wins election date" really? Interesting spin that.

That seems to be the line a few of the papers are going with, Corbyn caving, etc. Braggart posted:Is the Daily Mail suggesting that the Prime Minister likes to sneak into childrens' bedrooms at night?

An old uni friend is currently challenging my assertion on twitter that young people are less likely to vote Tory and seems genuinely surprised that it's actually backed by data. Additionally anyone in the greater London area who wants to come help in Watford (key marginal, 16% swing to Labour last time ~2000 votes in it and our incumbent is stepping down) PM me and I can give dates for canvassing when I know them. You can also be from outside the greater London area I guess ...

Don't forget https://events.labour.org.uk/ will tell you what campaigning is happening where - I might get involved with Watford but will probably, just for convenience, be sticking to Bad London and the Essex borders which have quite a lot of marginals, and also Two Cities because Chuka.

I had to show someone at work who is middlingly pro leave and Tory (we had to pay a mortgage at 15% interest and all the other bootstraps bullshit) the yougov poll about the elderly hoping Brexit would make their children destitute.
