How the fuck they get grouped into being a 'progressive party' when they were complicit in the worst of austerity is truly amazing.
Clegg saw a sniff of power and threw his entire party under the bus to get it, and did virtually nothing to counterbalance the Conservative austerity policies.
He’s a traitor to his party.
And I say this as someone who has voted Lib Dem several times.
I think they're notorious teases.
But at some point, does their re-weighting have to take into account whether things really will change in the space of a month? Given they're in the forecasters group, they're already moving a lot of votes from Labour to Tory - so they should be the least affected by a campaign IF things narrow as they expected.
Their previous two Labour leads were 14 (last week), and 18 the week before, so it could be a jump over 20 or a quirky drop to single figures, but that seems unlikely given no-one else seems to be dropping so quickly.
Consider me teased and a little bit tickled at the prospect of the Tories getting 60 - 70 seats :)
That said I don’t expect it to happen, nor imo do the pollsters/forecasters, yet is this belief more conditioned by decades of the Tories always being there or thereabouts, as much as anything else?
The Labour lead is broad, and by definition, shallow across England. Add in the Labour resurgence in Scotland and are we witnessing a black swan moment in election history? A moment that we can currently joke about on here, but in our hearts can’t really believe will happen?
The Tory campaign is literally a one man band. Sunak popping up here and there with his famous ‘people skills’ and tribute act to the 1950s. Everyone else is pretending they aren’t Tories or gone on holiday. Is Sunak going to neuter the desire to fuck the Tories into oblivion or feed it? I mean, five weeks of Sunak grinning in the face of us plebs? That’s the Tory campaign?

Starmer treating the country like his party treats anyone a "bit lefty" will be interesting is an understatement.An authoritarian labour party with a supermajority?
Why would that be a good thing for the country?
