Not much of a recommendation of a political party, is it? The only people that voted Theresa were the people in her constituency... That is how politics in the UK works.  Over the past 100 years, half of all Prime Ministers have come into office ‘unelected’. It's nothing unusual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Car Boot   10 #75 Posted June 9, 2019 Chukka Umunna MP, who in 2013 on an elite social network called 'ASmallWorld' labelled working class people as "trash", has joined the Lib Dems - an anti-working class party that propped up a pro-EU Tory government for the super rich with austerity policies which were designed to hurt the poorest the most.  Chukka will stand for the Liberal Democrats in his South London constituency where he can continue his attacks on the poorest in society. He recently left Labour to create his own pro-EU, anti-working class party - which failed to attract support for its extremist policies.

Stoatwobbler   10 #76 Posted June 14, 2019 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-48631116   Quote  Former Labour and Change UK MP Chuka Umunna has joined the Lib Dems. The Streatham MP told the BBC he had been "wrong" to think "millions of politically homeless people... wanted a new party." Mr Umunna said he had also "massively underestimated just how difficult it is to set up a fully-fledged new party without an existing infrastructure". He was one of six Change UK MPs to quit last week, after it gained only 3.4% of the vote in the European elections. The pro-EU Lib Dems saw a surge in support in the same elections, coming second after the Brexit Party.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The Liberal Democrats may have been unwise to form a coalition, but that is hindsight. Perhaps it was done for the right reason, to stabilise the country; but the voters failed to see it Nick Cleggs way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
