    No idea mate, Labour are nailed on so It will be a protest vote but if it kills off the Tories in the process all the better.

    I didn’t say they had no say in it?

    There was a public vote where the public decided to leave the EU.

    There was then a general election where the public decided they wanted the tories oversee brexit.

    it’s what the public wanted, if the tories done anything apart from that, I’m sure you would be beating them with a stick in that department <cheers>

    It never happened and wouldn’t stop anything, (I seem to remember a few protests about the poll tax). Default position of Tory’s is to blame everyone except themselves

    Think I lost respect for them when they abandoned all their principles and jumped into bed with the Tories, for a sniff of some power.

    That and the fact they're staffed by middle class school teachers.

    That’s based on perception I guess. I’d not class most teachers as middle class as they aren’t paid a great deal these days and certainly don’t get anywhere near the respect they are due. Not a job I’d have any inclination to go anywhere near

    They stink of middle class hummus and cucumber sticks with a glass of pinot grigio. I actually hate Libdems more than Labour and the Tories, something about them rouses my ancestral coal miner genes.

    It's the smug schoolmarm thing I hate, typified by the sort of junior management women who like to tone police. As opposed to the archetypal Tory who at his core is from wealth and as a result is fundamentally different from me, the libdem should know better, sadly I think Labour resemble the libdems more and more these days. Our politics is absolutely fücked, I see no hope for the country in the next decade unless something radical happens.
