are these MPs living cookoo land lib dems we used as a patsy as a protest vote

[kevt]

Lib dems was a protest vote, the only other option was conservatives or labour and we all know they are finished.

[benrichards]

Why is this dithering old codger a knight? What the hell has done to deserve that?!!!

[crecy]

Just trying to remember how many times I've heard a Liberal Leader say that. The truly remarkable thing about the party is that their intolerance of other peoples opinions is more akin to fascism.

[JulianScouser]

I voted Green as no other choice. These people have to spin it. To seem confident. But inside, they must know the truth.. they are stepping stones to avoid the other clowns. Wait for the MEP elections Vinny!!

I was a labour supporter but Corbyn is too left for me. Voted Dem.

[davidree]

Oh please there only the locals 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[bobrail]

This was a protest vote over brexit, all cable party got was a few thousand remainers sympathy votes, making a big issue as if they are set to challenge the traitors of conservative and labour ! Pipe Dreams 😵😵😵

Her interview style is bad. Let the guy make his answers thats what we want to hear, not to see him pressured.

[edwardzubrzycki]

can they not get someone who actually knows what she is on about to ask these questions she is not the brightest button in the sewing basket?

[kevinallsop]

He needs a box of laxatives to cure his problem.

[alunhughes]

Don't see anything wrong with having a third strong centralist party. With the disfunctional Tories moving steadily to the right and Labour's internal anti semitic problems there is room for a middle of the road party

[johnfoster]

A major force for going nowhere. There was no one else to vote for .

[Scanini]

Change UK and the Green party should join the Dems.

[likklej]

Sir Vince should train up and do a Royal Rumble with Nigel Farage.

[schooloflifebg]

What utter rubbish...vote liberal..vote for the EU....

[wer]

I wouldn't count your chickens just yet Vince.

[independentandfree]

"The Labour party is discredited?" Vince has a short memory. Fibdems have sat on their hands and done nothing. They have a disgruntled Cons voter protest vote and took little or nothing from Labour. Get a grip Fibdems.

[stevebee]

Brexit Party will win the most seats on the 23rd

Vince Cable's David Steele moment "Go back to your constituency's and Prepare for Government" LOL
