As it was a close finish, i think it needs a 2nd vote as they didnt know what they was voting for, It's been several hours now and people's views may have changed since they first voted, so the election needs to be rerun. |

This vote wasn't at all close. Makes a nice change.

Is Lib-Dem still a thing? I thought they were more like the 'why don't you' gang from the 70's and early 80's.....some people remember them but they aren't actually around these days  |

He is just more of the same, establishment. Corbyn was chance for a real change in the UK, now all we have is more of the same clones, spouting hot air and a empowerment of the tories and inequality that would make Karl marx weep. |

They had a chance to be relevant when in the coalition. They screwed up that opportunity, basically going along with everything the Torys said.
I think most voters mentally sidelined them at that point.

yeah but they were just a bunch of kids on summer holiday looking to fill their free time by hiking, canoeing, cycling and making shit with washing up bottles & egg cartons. So you have to say they made a good job of it.
The Lib-dumbs were REALLY shit at what they did |

Lol
Yes, my response was unclear regarding which group I was talking about.
The WDYJSOYTSAGADSLBI team probably would have been a better option in the coalition. |

It does feel like that's when a lot of voters turned against them. A lot of voters seemed to really dislike Swinson too. |

Gordon Kennedy was the best leader they had, who enjoyed a drink, and they hounded him for it, but he was a good orator and had some charisma. Clegg was a complete sellout, who let a real chance go by being a sycophant for the tories, set them back years. They were also complicit in selling the royal mail at below it's true value, they are not to be trusted. |

Charles Kennedy is a hugely missed politician.
The treatment he received at the hands of Ian Blackford should never be forgotten...

"We want an alcoholic to run the country.. seriously..?
I will drink to that
You seemed like a fan of Churchill's drinking a moment ago.
It's never all that it seems "
Maybe it's just the booze that's making all this confused. *hic* |

Blackford is a proper snake along with most of the snp, Charles Kennedy was a much better mp and genuine, so what if he drank, don't most of us enjoy a tipple. |

We have already got one."
There is a pecking order and hierarchy even in alcoholism...
We have street alcies, who mainly speak in a Glasgow accent wether they came from there or not and functioning alcoholics who are often surgeons, MPs and the like.. |

From what I have read Charles was leader at the time they were constantly increasing their vote and a strong voice of opposition. Since he sadly left us its been downhill for them |

"Looking at the numbers, he was voted in by 36.3% of the libdem electorate.... Brexit got 37.4% of the electorate.
The turnout was only 57%...EU referendum was 72%.

Which meant neatly 30%of The country didnt vote |

And only 37% of the population voted for it. So every time you hear 52% it's just another lie. As the entire thing is and those 37% are beginning to realise. |

52% of those that voted voted to leave is a fact as far as I am aware. voting was not compulsary so unlikely to get a 100% turnout. I dont think any UK election has managed 100% turnout |

I know my maths isnt the best but..
He is right thought isnt he?
If the turnout was just over 70% and they won by 51% that means ..what 37%of the people voted to leave.
Hardly will of the people stuff is it?
Not that it matters now like. |

Unless you force people to vote that's always going to be the case. It's not the fault of remain or leave its just how it is.as far as I remember it was a very high turnout compared to most General elections. Both sides had to play to the same rules |

Yeah I get that and its done and dusted now but if you look at the figures all this will of the people stuff spouted by the likes of Farage Is nonsense.
About a third of the pop voted for Brexit. |

Yep done and dusted and understand the figures though its also true that using that method even less than a third wanted to remain. Politicians will spin all figures its just what they do from all sides |
