UK General Election - May 7th 2015 (The Official Campaign Thread)

[Zinneke]

It wouldn't make sense to change the leader anyway. The entire party is seen as toxic by those who (stupidly) voted for it as left-liberal alternative to Labour in 2010. That electorate won't touch it for another 10 years. Clegg is the perfect scapegoat as he is still more than capable of saving the LibDems institutionalised bacon in the HoP, but will probably be asked to step down afterwards. Makes no sense putting Tim Farron up for an election slaughter when as mentioned above he represents the branch of the party that is going to desert them this election anyway.

no discussion of the bombshell Russell Brand (qualified) Labour endorsement / interview w/Ed Miliband?

Russell Brand is irrelevant in the British political scene. Most Labour voters consider him to be a cockney twat.
