Werthead Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 1 minute ago, Which Tyler said: I still have no idea why most of them chose not to do that in the first place. Before the local election results, the LibDems still looked like a non-starter. Now they're back in the game and CUK managed to monumentally fuck up their launch more than anyone thought possible.

Philokles Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 From Heidi Allen’s interview on the BBC just now, a CHUK merger into the Lib Dems seems on the cards. Which is lucky given how useless she came across - saying the European elections came sooner than she was expecting ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanF Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 The Conservatives and Labour will probably finish on about 25% between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Which Tyler Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 @Werthead Yeah, I know all that, but it means they had to try starting a new party from scratch whilst only agreeing on one thing, and bemoaning the lack of a relatively centrist, sensible pro-EU party who were typically willing to talk about reaching consensus. They were ou lucky wishing that the LibDems existed, whilst ignoring the existence of the LibDems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanF Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Goodness. TBP has won 50% in Bolsover, to 17% for Labour. Labour used to win about 70% in that seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse Named Stranger Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Poorly phrased. I assume she meant, they underestimated the amount of work needed to prepare for the European election. And 5 months are really short for a new party without an infrastructure. And arguably they might have assumed that May's deal would pass the house of commons at some point. Remember those MPs are used to have a huge party apparatus (Labour and Tories) backing them up. Bud yeah, poorly phrased, and a not very convincing start for their new party. Add to that the electorate has apparently forgiven the LibDems earlier transgressions, so that the LibDem label is no longer seen as a liability.
