Election Poll?

[Webbo]

Just been on BBC that Ming Campbell is to resign.

[lookwhaticando]

Not exactly surprising.

He never really had the support of the party it seemed. From the day he was elected leader there were mumblings in the background.

They should have plumped for the indiscreet homosexual, it would have made them seem much more interesting.

I wonder if Charles Kennedy will throw his bottle into the ring?

[Asha]

To be honest, whether Menzies Campbell is charge of the party or Gareth McAuley, still wouldn't vote for them.

[Webbo]

Milky Joe will be upset.

[FilboFox]

Its for the best though. Now they can get a younger person in to run the party for them and hopefully he/she will state their policies better than anyone else in the past and that will then attract more voters.

I would certainly consider them if that happened.

Narrow minded conservative if I ever saw one...

TBH Ididn't know who was their leader until recently. Then when I saw him I thought 'oh no what have they done?' They need a leader who will fight against thje two main partys and do something radical, something like Mrs Pritchard. They have some good ideas which the main parties adapt to suit their own ideas. There are no shots of 'theives' coming from the ranks of the Lib Dems. No-one looks at them as a realistic alternative and regard them as a joke. But at one time in the past the Lib Dems formally known as the Liberals were the dominant party of this country. Their campaigns now are weak and do not get the media coverage that the two main parties receive. They need somebody who will shout out 'We are here, and here to stay' If they have to they will have to recruit 'celebrities' to get their voice over.

Does anyone want to change their vote now? Will there be a new poll?

Did you watch that program? I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! It was one of the best series that the BBC have done for a LONG time!

[FilboFox]

I doubt that we'll have a new poll... it won't change many peoples ideas... we should wait until they've got a new leader and then see...

The Lib Dems, who so often parade themselves as beacons of integrity, have just knifed their second leader in less than two years.

Until they sort out their issues of egotism and indiscipline, their credibility will continue to fall.

The majority of Lib Dem voters don't vote for the Lib Dems but against somebody else,i.e. Labour or Conservatives.

With the chance of a Tory victory now looking possible, people are reverting to their old loyalties, the LD vote is bound to be squeezed.

With a new leader and renewed confidence in their own party, myabe that will change.

[Rincewind]

Lib Dem supporters either vote for a tactical vote or the MP in their area that voices their opinions because they are pessimistic by nature and doom merchants wanting but not expection a Utopean world so use their vote elsewhere.

I actually think it's for the best. This country is so small minded and ageist that he had to go.

[Rincewind]

If you add the other 3 choice of votes the Tory's are behind 29-22.

Do the Lib Dems want PP? It is said that if they manage to get the other parties to agree to it and then get in power they will change it back again to ensure they remain there.

Thing is I'mm not sure how PP works. I know it goes on percentages but if you vote for a candidate in your consitiancy with the opposition coming a close second does that mean the one you didn't vote for gets in as well?

I would like to see a coalition where policies are discussed and agreed upon by all parties. There will be some things that arenot agreed upon because of being too left or too right but the majority of policies are based on information available to all MP's. They opposition may say a decision is wrong and they would do it different or not at all but that is the purpose of the opposition, to criticise, in order to win the public over at election time. And I believe having a strong third party will make the two main parties do whats right for the country instead of whats right for their image.

And everyone will live happily ever after.

Granted, most Lib Dem MPs are sexual deviants, but I'm not sure they'd go that far?

[Rincewind]

I may have meant PR. Proprtional Representation. Trying to avoid attempting the spelling. .

[lookwhaticando]

Can't we all just get along (by voting for UKIP)?

[FilboFox]

So that we can have a bunch of 'British only' people in charge in this multi-cultural society!?!

Sounds great...

[lookwhaticando]

I'm more interested in their flat tax and their dislike of the EU as an institution.

You can't just like them because they have SOME good policies! You have to take into account all of them as if they were to take power, which is highly unlikely, then ALL of them would be put into action!
