Ad Lib Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 11 minutes ago, John Lambies Doos said: So who would be the most well known lib dem who supports independence ( Chris and Ad Lib aside)? Well I am no longer a Lib Dem. I think Hugh O'Donnell may have supported it (former MSP for Central Scotland, quit 2011 and ran as an independent). Asides that, there are former office-bearers. I wasn't alone in leaving the party over the hardened attitude towards internal dissent over the issue since the Brexit referendum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 7 hours ago, Granny Danger said: Dugdale will only get binned if there's a better option willing to take the gig at this time. I'm sure SLab have a few ambitious souls who are marginally better than Kez but who would want the job at this point? Wouldn't an absolute cunting at the Council elections be the ideal time to empty Dugdale? Labour's new Branch Manager won't have another electoral trouncing to worry about until about 2020. Sarwar is a slimy b*****d, but surely to f**k he won't make as many outright ludicrous gaffes as Dugdale? That said, obviously I'd prefer Dugdale to stay because her tenure has been utterly hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 21 minutes ago, Ad Lib said: On the contrary, the Lib Dems did many stupid things, but enabling the Tories on welfare cuts wasn't one of them. They forced the mitigation measures in relation to the Bedroom Tax, blocked a proposal to exclude young people from housing benefit, blocked the 2 child child benefit and tax credit cap just to name a few. As we have seen with the Tories since, it was the fact of a Coalition that prevented the very worst of the Tories' measures from coming into force. Bluntly, fewer people are in poverty now than would have been the case if the Tories had governed alone, even in a minority administration. Nope the Tories would have achieved less as a minority administration. I can understand why you're still in denial though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're advocating a return to absolute monarchy in an independent Scotland. You'll be joining up, then? If we are going to advocate absolute monarchy for an independent Scotland, those of us dedicated to a Stuart restoration will be campaigning for the Duke of Bavaria (King Francis II) - or should he pass beforehand, Sophie, Princess of Liechtenstein - to assume such a role.

Cole-Hamilton doesn't seem to talk much with ordinary members of the party and is unbelievably arrogant. Tavish Scott wasn't there so can't really say much about him. I worked with ACH a fair bit in a professional capacity before I knew about his politics and a a fair bit more since. He is one of the most arrogant p***ks I ever had the misfortune to be around. He is a genuinely dangerous character. As one of the head officers at Aberlour he was one of the most vocal proponents of named person and has now seemed to have had such an about turn it's very hard to know what his genuine position on it is.

sophia Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 3 hours ago, Ad Lib said: He's not and never has been interested in the leadership. He's the most reasonable of the 5 of them, his views on Independence being fairly uncompromising notwithstanding. The easiest one I found to work with, the one most on top of his Holyrood briefs, and from what I've heard elsewhere just about the only one people from other parties don't think is a w**k. The thirst for power got us into this mess and will ultimately be key in getting Scotland out of the union. The Lib Dems made the worst party political decision in the last twenty five years to associate themselves with the ruthless and toxic Tories.

Gordon EF Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Serious question - why isn't Labour getting hounded at election after election getting less funny over time? I'd have expected sympathy to kick in by now but it isn't. When I read Invergowrie Arab's story about the 40 Labour voters turning into 4 I chuckled like a fucking Bond villain.
