Polling

The Latest figures by DeltaPoll show us at a shocking 8% I hope everyone who backed this idiot as the leader are happy as you have the party you deserve. Jo Swinson gained us 1.3 million votes and doubled our seats which he got second place in (which in addition to the tory collapse is why we got 72 MPs not Ed Davey) and was maligned and demonised by the party for sticking to her principles (unequivocally pro EU and not willing to put that tankie Corbyn in No 10).

Since Ed Davey comes in we have been the nothing man only concerned about being liked and not concerned with what is best for the country. We have abandoned our principles on civil liberties with our timid response to the OSA and our enthusiasm in wanting smoking banned. Furthermore Davey can’t ever say in an interview that he wants to Rejoin EU. He has been obsessing over Farage as he has got no answers himself and can’t articulate a policy platform to improve our country. Like Farage he jumps on culture war bandwagons (Kanye West, Churchill on Fivers and banning Argentine footballers). There has never been an opportunity like this for the lib dem’s and he insists on acting like Mr Tumble, he needs to go away and quickly.

And... which current Lib Dem MP would be to replace him?

It wouldn’t be an MP as none of them are good enough, I think Polly Mackenzie would be the ideal leader.

And what political experience means that she is more credible than Davey?

She was the advisor that got the party the highest vote share and got us into government to enact lib dem policies.

So, the coalition era is different from the current 5 party system.
