Basically Scotland is small. Yet the SNP has about 25,000actual members more than the LibDems. It really does depend on what Metric you use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LibDems are in control of absolutely nothing apart from their own ability to talk bollocks, which has been a lifelong passion for most of them. You want to know what a LibDem thinks? Ask them a questions, waft the soiled knickers of power under their nose and ask the question again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After existing without purpose when actually had a chance to make a difference they gave it all up to cling to power. A power they could achieve nothing with. All they have ever actually done in reality is enable the Tories by splitting the opposition vote and whilst power sharing. Simply by existing they do harm to their own agenda. They should just shut up shop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should just shut up shop. If you are a minority member in a coalition you don't have that much say in the matter. They tried to push voting reform which the country rejected. The argument is that the tories would have made even more cuts if they were just in power themselves. Also they delayed brexit by 5 years at least. Hamface never thought he would actually carry out the referendum as he thought that both the tories and libdems would lose seats in 2015, but somehow they got a majority even after he austerity years. They will never go into a formal coalition again as they got destroyed in 2015. If Labour don't get a majority next election then they will have to do some deal with them.
