There’s something wrong with the Lib Dems isn’t there? I mean, apart from the whole “inflicting David Cameron on the country” thing.
Pearce said that she would remain in the party in a more modest role. “So at the moment, not knowing quite where I fit in the party, I have still decided to remain a Lib Dem because I believe in a lot of the Lib Dem values and policies, so I will stick with them right to the end. But I realise my place is not go for any high positions within the party. I’ll just stay and be the token person who sits and smiles in the background and do my community activism that I always do.”
I think comment is superfluous here. Just read it. The Tories have a horrible record of picking up black people, especially women, and dropping them (I did a case study back in 2010 for Stable & Principled and this story refers, and some of the free school people are going the same way) but I expected a bit better from the Liberals.
But of course there’s Rennard.
‘I expected a bit better from the Liberals.’ Really? They’ve always been unprincipled, cynical, political chameleons. Not only do they tear up their own manifestos when it suits, they do the same to their own rule book. LDs in North Devon rely solely on their leader Brian Greenslade. So, when he stood as an independent for the police commissioners job (against the official LD candidate), did they kick him out? Did they buggery.
