I feel like every time a political party finds a single poll that says that those surveyed think somewhat highly of the leader they decide to turn up the Cult Of Personality dial to maximum. No possible ways this could backfire this time, clearly the public madly love this one individual unconditionally and forever. On a related note, i'm waiting to see what angle Ruth Davidson's Scottish Conservative Ruth Davidson Party go with now that she's gone. She was their whole campaign for years.

Tiger Millionaire posted:Extremely weird they're making her the Face of the party, understandable about BoJo because he's been in public spotlight for years and years, and same with Corbz as he represents the ideological shift away from centrist Labour and has the voting record to prove it. The leader of the Lib Dems has to be an MP. Everyone else who wanted it had already done it and failed miserably. Also I am informed that even before the latest round of Vince Cable was saying that Lib Dem voters should vote Labour if that's what it took to get the Tories out. Of course he's standing down and has nothing to lose, but still - a rare moment of honesty and conscience.

I'll be honest, I only started posting in UKMT because it seemed like a rare leftish community in the hell that was the early coalition years. I think specifically it was reading Spangly A posts about his experience with the benefits system that made me realise this was a cool place to hang. So I can't say the thread radicalised me at all or changed my politics, but I am at least glad I found somewhere online that I could talk about politics and not feel like a mad outlier. I will say that the thread put somewhat of a dent in my support for Scottish independence at least.

Yeah but surely if your leader isn't charismatic, well known or liked you'd have your optics go the route of "The Party, not the person" or focusing on the local MP hopefuls rather than slapping JO PRESENTS... THE LIBDEMS on the side of a bus and driving it round the country. I don't understand.

Gouldians in my experience are easy to get sick, the ones I've bought died less than a month later. Zebras are pretty hardy, breed like crazy and the babies are super cute with black beaks that fade into their bright orange when they mature

I can't remember the details but somebody back in June advanced the theory that none of the tory 'talent' outside a small number of ultra-loyalists would serve in bozza's cabinet which is why he ended up with a cabinet consisting entirely of people who have resigned in disgrace within the last 18 months. So expect more of this I guess...

It's purely them believing their own hype, because they're so convinced there's a thirst for their failed brand of centrism, and that their way back as a party is entirely on revoking Brexit and pretending it never happened, without attempting to analyse, fix or address any of the underlying issues that led to it.

THE LIBDEMS on the side of a bus and driving it round the country. Going around in the Jo Coach seems completely counter to that when most people don't know who she is. And making it all about her when she votes more Tory than Gove could backfire spectacularly in those constituencies where you vote Lib Dem to keep the Tories out. I voted Lib Dem in local elections all this decade (boo wall etc) because the guy lived nearby, talked to us, and was fundamentally a decent person who'd take our issues to the county council, and everyone knew him. A lot of that vote went Labour when he died last year, but the Labour guy just wasn't as well known, so it's now Office Tory #17 who's name I can't even recall.

Do any of you watch Novara Media's Tysky Sours? They had a great one yesterday with the leader of the Firefighter's Union. The one that re-affiliated with Labour for the first time in donkey's years after Corbyn became leader. Good lad, and when Mike said "fireman" the guy cut-him off almost immediately to say "we say firefighter"
