Observer II Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 The Tories lost the Chesham bi-election to the Lib-Dems; seems Tory voters were upset with HS2 and other planning issues - upset the electorate at your peril. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 This is despite the Lib Dims being big HS2 cheerleaders. Voters eh 🤣. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Chesham area they are anti-HS2 and anti development of houses. Youe are right about their national policy though! Go figure ...

asperity Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 If the winning candidate is willing to go against her party in Parliament, and is a good MP for her constituents, that's what matters rather than party loyalty. Sir Edward might have something to say about that though............................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lib Dems are notorious for say owt to get the votes... then going silent after being elected. If voters are mug enough to fall for it more fool them Joe Swinson Q&A During a recent policy meeting. Do you support the construction of a high speed railway (HS2) connecting London to Birmingham? Answer PUBLIC STATEMENTS Yes, and extend it to Scotland 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observer II Posted June 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 The Lib Dems are the worst of the lot for trying to be all things to all men; they wouldn't recognise a political principle or conviction if it hit 'em in the eye. Believe Labour lost their deposit ! 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observer II Posted June 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Well it's fairly polarised now, what I call "normal folk" vote Conservative (or Reform), while the woke brigade vote for the rest. This time round they voted tactically for the LibDums; giving rise to calls for proportional representation - again. We had an example of a hung Parliament prior to Brexit, which tried to scupper the will of ordinary people, with Bercow in the lead. 😠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer II Posted June 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Another reason for the Bercow move, is his longing to wear the ermine, and get a Labour nomination to the House of Lords - typical of his ilk. 😠 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
