2020 Liberal Democrats Leadership Election

[Blair]

Thank god

[Blair]

Thank god

Ed Davey has won & it looks rather comfortable (40K v 20K)

As a Labour member who wants us to get back into Government this is a good result.

His speech is actually quite candid in admitting the Liberal Democrats are not trusted or liked by a large chunk of the country.

Also proves, once again, that twitter isn't britain.

The people who most like to say that are maybe even less "Britain", though.

I've never claimed to be!

When was the last time all three """major""" party leaders represented London constituencies? Has it ever happened before?

As someone from an inner london borough I refuse to accept that Kingston & Surbiton is actually in London.

On the point re Davey & the EU it was briefly hilarous to look at the Lib Dem ultra online tendency & how they utterly out of touch some of them are- although much like with Labour I feel a lot of these people aren't actually members & are simply single-issue voters who jumped on the bandwagon & are now upset the party is catering solely for them.

You would have thought that people who completely judged the mood in their own party incorrectly would be wary about claiming that they understand the national mood.

This is a sensible decision by Davey.

If Kingston and Surbiton aren't London, then Uxbridge isn't either, so it doesn't work anyway

Yes I'd agree Uxbridge isn't London for me!
