That's exactly what i'm suggesting.

Very good. In that case, I'm out.

Crazy conspiracy theories are not really my thing

Read my post. She can 'get in to bed' with whoever she wants. I know she can't form a Government coalition with the pro-Euro Tories but she can 'get in to bed' with them.

You are deluded if you think she'll get involved in a Government coalition that includes the Brexit Party.

Ideal scenario is she won't have the chance to, by losing her seat at next election.

Only 2 years older than Kezia Dugdale.

Didn’t mind Kezia.

Wasn’t she bullied out by Corbyn’s mob?

I can't trust a Scottish person with an accent like that.

She speaks like many people from Bearsden and Milngavie.

[SHODAN]

A Tory who knows that Tory is a dirty word in Scotland and thus instead joined the Lesser Tories.

[JeMeSouviens]

I think she'll probably do quite well by virtue of being neither Johnson nor Corbyn.

[JeMeSouviens]

Has she ruled out dealing with Corbyn but not Johnson? That seems madness.

She's said she won't work with anyone who supports Brexit.

Ok thanks, that rules out the Tories then and makes a bit more sense.

[Smartie]

I think she's hopeless, crumbles under any sort of questioning and is incredibly unappealing.

It's a shame, because I think there really is an opening for the LibDems here. I don't have nearly the same mistrust of the LibDems as a party as most people do, even if I don't like a number of things they've done and I really don't like some of the people associated with them (Alastair Carmichael for starters). If they had a decent, solid leader here - a younger Menzies Campbell, a younger Vince Cable, Nick Clegg or ideally Charles Kennedy then I think there is a real opening for a party to capture the centre ground whilst the other 2 parties destroy themselves with their own squabbles.

I also simply don't think that modern day England will warm to any Scottish politician, so she's on a hiding to nothing (I know I suggested a few Scots above but that's my preference over what I think the UK electorate would want).

She is a disgrace as was her opponent in this, serving as lap dogs to the Tories. You may not agree and say well they would say that. Absolutely spot on in my opinion.
Since her election by Lib Dem members on Monday, Swinson has come under fire for her role in the coalition government as a minister voting for austerity measures and bringing in controversial policies such as employment tribunal fees.

Ian Lavery, the Labour party Chair, said: “Jo Swinson sat at the top table of the coalition government and voted for vicious attacks on the most vulnerable and tax cuts for the super-rich and big businesses.

“Austerity couldn’t have happened without Liberal Democrats – leading to shocking levels of child poverty, the tripling of tuition fees, a homelessness crisis and rising food bank use. Labour is the only party that can stop the Tories and transform Britain so that it works for the many not the few.”

Swinson said she regretted not winning the battle against employment tribunal fees, saying it had been the wrong policy.

But she defended her record in the coalition under David Cameron, saying: “I think we achieved a lot of good things in government … I’ve also been very frank that in owning the successes we also need to be clear there were mistakes made as well.”

Oh well then.

BIG G

[southsider]

She is about as much use as a f*rt in a spacesuit.

[Bangkok Hibby]

she'll do ok because as has been said on here before, the majority of the British voting public are too stupid to vote. It all depends if the media decides to get behind her.

[The Baldmans Comb]

Absolute Tory and to be fair she really doesn't pretend otherwise.

She understands that Lib Dems is where nice twee middle class people "park their vote" especially in times of political upheaval.

The Scots will probably take her out at the next General Election but she will have made enough impact for the English to get her back in next time around.

Nah, she's thick as mince and would never have lasted anywhere near as long with any other party. Even a judge let her off the hook on the grounds of her intellectual deficit.

Jo Swinson on GMS this morning.

Robertson: You want a people's vote.
Swinson: Yes.
Robertson: But you'll oppose a second indyref?
Swinson: Of course that was only 5 years ago.

What...a...threat

[Hibrandenburg]

I feel embarrassed for her in this interview. Cringe!!!!!

[SHODAN]

By virtue of being Scottish and rabidly anti-independence she'll probably swing most of the Tory seats up here to LD, bar former SNP strongholds in the north east which will hopefully revert to type. I suppose that's technically a good thing.

They’re both toxic and the Liberals are gaining votes from both (although more from Labour). She’s right to distance the party from Corbyn. She might wait to see what de Piffle’s policies are like first.

[Bostonhibby]

She'll go down the Clegg path and whenever there's a sniff of power or personal gain party principles will be out the window. Already a better supporter of the tory whip than most Tory MP's.

My protest vote options gone.

She's nice. She could be very popular with her "girl next door" personality.

Better than old Cable anyway. He always looked like someone had just let off.

[southsider]

Vince always talked a lot of sense on Financial maters. If he was Labour leader we would not be heading for this carnage.

This is fair. A period in the spotlight will reveal her true qualities. She's an airhead, just like Dugdale, promoted well above her abilities.
