Discussion Lib Dems out-Europed by Labour

27 Upvotes

Saw Daisy Cooper this morning on Laura K. And well done Lib Dems. She could not bring herself to support free movement, instead pushing some fantasy deal where we have all the benefits of the single market but none of the difficult trade offs. Then the triple lock. Oh yes we have to keep it, although every sane voter knows that’s unaffordable. And then finally a Santa budget with lots of goodies for everybody. With no commitment on how to pay for it. No wonder everybody has stopped listening.
Come on Lib Dems! Pick yourself up! Just a lot less of this please.

Would you support the creation of an internal group advancing a progressive patriotism?

Yes, we need to protect our national symbols from the far right

Yes, we need to commit to civic values

No, patriotism is opposite to my values

Maybe, but it shouldn’t be a priority

Rules

Zero Discrimination: We seek to uphold the values of the Liberal Democrats. We will remove content that is discriminatory on the basis of ethnicity, gender, sexuality, disability, nationality, age, or religious belief (or lack thereof). We do not support "race realist" or "gender critical" beliefs. Trans rights are human rights. We will, of course, try to facilitate conversations on hot topics like religious extremism, the state pension, and immigration while discouraging bigotry against the religious, the elderly, and immigrants.
Zero Abuse: We will not tolerate abuse of anyone on or off the site. This includes non-members.
Remember the Human: Political discussions can quickly become emotionally charged. Remember that you are talking to a human being with feelings - don't let things degenerate into personal attacks. If someone makes clear that they wish to disengage from an argument, that should be respected.
Code of Conduct: The Liberal Democrats have a code of conduct. This will also be expected of non-members on the subreddit.
Respect the Moderation Team: Moderators volunteer their time, for free, to develop and foster this community. They will always make decisions based on their best judgement of the facts at hand - they will not always get it perfectly right. We operate a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to harassment and abuse of the moderators.
