it really is pointless carrying on this conversation.

Glad we agree on something.

What was it she said earlier? That she was the only female politician with a shot of becoming Prime Minister in this election?

That's one hell of a long shot Jo.

Technically correct though 😉

I technically have a shot at Jennifer Lawrence, but I don't brag openly about my chances.

Jo Swinsons attempt at trying to convey what she thinks anger is supposed to sound like in a speech.

I can't decide whether you're deliberately appearing obsessed or not.

Nothing inhibited about it. She crushes my ear drums everytime I have the misfortune of hearing her speak.

[Slavers]

She would make a good primary school teacher but that's about it.

[heretoday]

She's a bit loud. I have to turn down the telly or the cat wakes up.

[Hiber-nation]

I want to like her but I keep getting the feeling that there's a massive faux pas just around the corner.

[Pete]

She's unelectable

Thought this should go in here. Only credible posters need read.

How desperate can they get?

Jo Swinson said in her speech earlier that she believes she can do a better job than both Jeremy Corbyn and Boris Johnson.

However, when pressed on the subject of coalitions, she said "I absolutely, categorically rule out any coalition with Jeremy Corbyn".

But not Boris Johnson....

She did call Boris Johnson a "British Donald Trump" though, but also said she wouldn't rule out a relationship with Trump....... Perhaps a bit of a hidden clue there.

You're getting too hung up on the word coalition. They won't enter a coalition with either but that doesn't mean the Lib Dems wouldn't work in a less formal structure with Labour.

Or insist any deal with Labour does not include Corbyn. It’s likely that if it’s a hung parliament that Labour will still have lost again. Corbyn will be under pressure to step down anyway. It’s possible the Lib Dem’s day no deal until Labour have new leader.

At this point who are Labour saying they will form a coalition with? Or the Tories? None of the main UK national parties are going to answer that question just now. But if it’s a hung parliament the cost of getting the LibDems on board will be at the very least an agreement to hold a second referendum. That rules out the Tories, Boris could never agree to that.

Swinson has already told Andrew Neil she will not work with Corbyn, even if that means she doesn't get a second EU referendum.

Labour are smartly keeping their options open. The Lib Dems have already given their answer to that question. No coalition with Labour, but no comment regarding the conservatives.

What makes the lib dems anymore trustworthy now than last time? Rule out a coalition with the tories for crying out loud.

Boris Johnson hasn’t ruled out a coalition with the Labour Party and Corbyn hasn’t ruled out a coalition with the Brexit Party. Makes you think eh?

He hasn't ruled out a coalition with the SNP (The Lib Dems have).

They'd be as well just coming out and saying that they rule out any coalition with any parties on the left.

Are the SNP a party of the left? Centre right surely like Blair’s Labour was and the Tories used to be.

Based on what?

The SNP opposed Blairs PFI schemes, his market deregulation policies, his war based on a pack of lies he invented himself, his opposition to railyway renationalization, his handing of full fiscal control over to the banks, his multi-millionaire tax dodging schemes, his refusal to build social housing or implement rent caps, his introduction of 'workfare' schemes, his privatization of the prison system, his introduction of ATOS into the benefit assessment system, his introduction of over 200 tax payer funded privately ran academies..... I could go on and on.

There was one other party however who did back all of these new "labour" policies to the hilt. I'll leave it to you to work out who that party was.

For a man who stated here that he had no interest what so ever in the old politics of left and right the accusation that your party of choice is not really that left wing seems to have hurt a bit.
I think most people would agree that Corbyn's Labour Party are offering the closest to old style left wing policies of any party. And they aren't even that left wing as far as I am concerned. Until recently the rest of them were fighting over the same centre right ground. Up until the Tories lurched to the right that is. It's not a criticism of the SNP by the way, it's what has enabled them to keep a broad church of differing political stances together for so long, they can be all things to all people.
