Can't recall such a pathetic bunch on both sides in my lifetime, I wouldn't vote for either.

The only way the UK will get honest and hardworking politicians that put the country first is if Labour & the tories disappear. The quicker the better as far as I am concerned, hateful, the lot of them.

While I'm inclined to agree with you, where does that leave us in the next election? Given the downfall of the 'brexit' agenda could lead to calls for a snap general election.

There isn't a 'No confidence' box on the forms is there?

Buggered. I'd vote Libdem hoping for a come back. I suspect we'll just get another hung parliament.

At least we no longer have Tim 'Homophobic' Farron in charge, we now are just left with Anti-semite & pro-Brexit Corbyn and Islamophobic & Pro-Brexit May. Pretty sorry state of affairs; pick your poison of preference.

Yeah try the truth in the middle of the headlines. Anyway why go listen to the chancellor deliver nothing when you can get the highlights and do something more useful elsewhere

Couldn't agree more, the state of politics these days is an embarrassment

Probably all bundled in a room to be trained in how a free vote works.

There will be support councillors to offer support for those breaking down and crying with the thought of having to make a choice on their own.

The pilots then reacted improperly, and alternate law does not protect the flight envelope in the way normal law does so they crashed.

Front benches maybe. Or TBH just May (and Grayling) on the Tory side and the front bench on Labours. I've no problem with politicians having differing opinions to my own, but those are useless politicians.

My MP's John Redwood, he annoyed me when he was out door knocking for council elections (he so safe I've never even seen a poster at general election time), the Labour candidates OTOH all seemed perfectly reasonable and as pissed off as the rest of us.

Rees-Mog, the dUP, Johnson, etc may all be odious self serving, sadistic, short sighted heaps of excrement of the highest order, but they're very good a it.

Being very good at that particular thing isn't good for the people (democratically voted in or not).

Have people forgotten the LibDems propped up Cameron’s government, thereby getting us into the current situation?

Fortunately I can vote in SNP candidate as opposed to lamont, who came to school to rub shoulders with the poor and I had to leave the room as staff were being introduced to him (lucky us).
At least he's consistent, votes as told. Wonder how he'll cope with a free vote.

Good job everything is the Lib Dems fault..... FFS ever think the problem is shared with the electorate?

The referendum was brought in by Cameron's full-fat tory government, not the coalition government. On this occasion at least it's not the lib dems' fault.

OTOH, we might want to blame first past the post- since Cameron was only able to do it as he had a majority of seats despite receiving only 36.9% of the vote- while a Labour/Liberal coalition would have the support of more voters but only 75% as many seats. But doing so might not be Respecting Democracy.
