Bit vague. What is the specific agenda that tells me everything I need to know?

The idea that the Lib-Dems would play power brokers in favour of this tired populist government in the event of a hung parliament is laughable. The Tories either get a a majority in the next election, they have enough DUPpers to keep them in power or they are out!
This is a good point and you may well be right. In 2010 I was surprised as anyone as I always thought the LibDems were centre left so it struck me as being bizarre they'd choose a centre right party over another centre left. Their rationale at the time was that the Tories had more seats than Labour so the people wanted Tories more than Labour. I don't think that's what their supporters wanted though but who cares as long as you get to be in power :shrug:

David Miliband, Clegg, Johnson & Starmer are all batting for the same team, so don't get confused by the party colours.

This comes over as vague and smarmy in a thread where the majority of contributors are having a sensible debate. Perhaps you could explain your point in ways that other contributors could discuss on its merits or get off the pot.

I like the way you always pretend not to know stuff.

TBF Gluey has made vague and smarmy his default mannerism not seen him give a straight answer in 5 years (4 counting his year long sulk )
