*This poll was conducted before the Brexit Party had announced it was not going to stand candidates in Conservative held seats.

I don't know how the Lib Dem's battle bus will affect the voting as I think that "Jo Swinson's Liberal Democrats" in huge letters on the side would put me off as it makes them sound like a rock band - Jeff Lynne's ELO perhaps

I have a bee in my bonnet about the competency Of the Lib Dems. Tonight on LBC Ian Dale took apart the Lib Dem Environment spokesperson this is about the 3/4 time in as many weeks when he has done this different people different topics. They all suffer for one obvious reason they don't know their brief.

Now I know he is a close to the Tory party but he has a go at them and Labour and they seem to be able to hold their own against him he's not Jeremy Paxman but he knows his facts.

If I was thinking of voting for them I would be seriously worried they are from the Diane Abbott school of politics. Tonight all this woman wanted to talk about was the £8m per year we will lose from the EU when we Brexit for flood defences. When asked how much does the UK government spend she didn't know, remember she is their environment expert. Dale had to point out it was 4.5bn pa so £8m is a big so f**king what.

They need to up their game because so far I have yet to hear one of their key players have a good argument they just want to parrot what they have been told.

Don't get me wrong Tories and Labour have their idiots but boy ever time I hear a Lib Dem spokesperson I groan, do your damn homework.

One more point

But even as a solid Remain party, where do they gain the seats? It is a boring point, that is made time and time again but the constituency break down of both the Brexit vote and EU elections points to the reality that it is bloody difficult for a Remain position to win an election.

Now in 2017 Labour did bloody well by backing Brexit. It is insanity for them to back away from that.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - 1984 - George Orwell.

With a different leader, I think they'd have been more inclined to take a Lib Dem-like stance and consequently take a bigger bite out of their vote. Unbudgeable Corbyn isn't particularly pro-EU though and so he's at odds with the majority in his own party, and this whole 'when it matches our five tests', or 'second referendum, but we're not sure if we'll campaign for in or out' stance is the ill conceived compromise within the party.

Whether some will look beyond this confused approach as the election approaches is anyones guess, but as it stands both the Conservatives and Lib Dems at least have a somewhat clear messages and Labour lacks that.

Haha, yes it does sound rather egotistical too. She's living a rock and roll lifestyle apparently. Keep a look out for groupies climbing aboard the lib dem love bus!
