How does any of what happened happen if the lib dems refuse the coalition? Cameron’s government collapses before it causes any real harm.
Exactly, they fell for the lies, continued happily falling for them and operated in lockstep with the Tories for the whole 5 year duration of the coalition. They accomplished nothing they promised and could have even thrown the coalition out once it was obvious and limited the damage they were causing—they did not. The absolute most charitable way of looking at them is completely oblivious imbeciles, and frankly is that who anyone should be voting for?
Holy shit the lib dems were not victims in the scenario, they enabled the whole bloody thing. They’re demonstrably spineless, stand for nothing and couldn’t resist grasping at the tiny bit of power they got no matter how much damage it caused to everything they were voted in to achieve.
Well fair play, I’ve lived in labour strongholds for the past two decades so perhaps that’s why I’ve never seen it from labour, but anecdotally it’s always predominantly lib dems in these lists (e.g. per the BBC articles linked in the posted video description).
Personal rant regarding your options: (feel free to disregard entirely as this is obviously opinionated)
For what it’s worth that’s a sucky situation with both the Tory dominance (by the by, where on earth are you that’s still polling that highly for them?!) as well as your labour candidate, but I personally can’t ever forgive the lib Dems for making the Tories king in 2010 in the first place and enabling this decade and a half of shit we have all been enduring. Without them Cameron’s minority Tory government collapses within a year or two.
But hey, at least they delivered on their campaign promises that were their red lines for going into the coalition!
Freeze university fees? Nah how about triple them. Alternative voting system? Nah let’s let the Tories scare the general public off the idea for the foreseeable future—oh and give the vote leave con artists (No to AV had the very same people behind it) their practice referendum so they know exactly what to do with the Brexit one, which would likely never have happened if the lib dems didn’t form the coalition.
They not only failed to deliver on every promise they campaigned on, they reneged on each in the absolute worst possible way.
I voted for lib dems in 2010 and I’ve never regretted a vote more, and will never make the mistake of supporting them in any way again. I and millions of others will not ever forget all this, so now the only thing they’re demonstrably good for is attracting disillusioned Tory voters away from voting their usual way.
Even in this video the presenter details how they often used values from completely unrelated elections because it made them look better.
Worth highlighting that the more egregious manipulation from the Lib Dems would not be in a constituency where they actually stand a chance (where the video presenter is based and used as a source for his leaflets). The worst is when they’re solidly in third, where they misrepresent their position and cynically try to take votes away from the actual alternative contender—you see more cases of that in the articles linked in the video description
Of course it’s predominantly the lib Dems…
Literally all they seem to be capable of doing as a political force is getting a load of misleading dodgy charts on leaflets through people’s doors.
That’s a lot of words to say: “things are still working in spite of a decade and a half of active destruction, thanks to the people getting crushed putting all their effort in to resist it completely failing”
I’m being flippant, but this reads pretty tone deaf to me, especially from the guardian
Can someone put this wannabe corpse in a coffin already?
Err… Tuck in, I guess…
That’s a weird emoji to use for elixir
It would be nice if the greens could pick up a few of these seats, in an ideal world, but I’m not going to grumble about finally neutralising the primary reason this country has been circling the drain for a decade and a half.
Phwoooar
I’m gonna party in the street
We clearly need to step it up
Can we drench him in whatever stink bombs are made of? Or henna? Maybe litres of red food colouring?
Something he can’t wash off

Edit: no idea how I ended up replying to myself
Oh great, now we’re going to have a load of Putin supporting bilge from the right-wing shit-pipes over here now.
You don’t need to be skilled in something to get enjoyment out of it
Likewise you don’t necessarily get enjoyment out of something just because you’re skilled in it.
Unfortunately, his motivation isn’t attention seeking.
Read any account of anyone that’s ever been personally close to him
He’s an actual, dictionary definition, unabashed fascist.
He wants the power to make his twisted dreams a reality
Oh there’s definitely more in the Tories, but at least that’s ideologically consistent
At least if they’re showing their colours, we can put them on the permanent shit list
Holy shit, why the hell are all these private healthcare loons in the fucking labour party
Aaaand majority!
You just love to see it
