LibDem because I believe in equal opportunity for all regardless of just about everything. Like Rugby, Food, Cycling, my kids and grandchildren. I also trust science because science is always open to change if facts prove otherwise. Rejoin EU. PR.

God he's such a clown. Cannot stand him, he has such an adversarial, depressing vibe about him like Badenoch. Honestly he may even be a narcissist that's how much he makes me uncomfortable.

I respect and Ed Davey because he is prepared to work with others. It is so much more productive.

Listening to what Zack says. I suggest you do the same. Add working in energy conservation for 40yrs helps a bit. I had solar thermal on my roof in 1977.

I don't disagree with their policies, as such. I'm a Lib Dem. We were a green party before Zack was a glint in the gardener's eye. He was even a Lib Dem once.

My objection is the appeal to populism without pragmatism which has been (and probably always will be) the favoured policy of all zealots.

Leaving NATO and getting rid of our nuclear deterrent. I am against that.
I want to get to net zero and a pollution free world ASAP but I believe the way Zack intends to do that will bring about the opposite.

That’s exactly what a cult member would say.
I have reached an age where I have tendency to question, even those things I like to hear.

I define a cult of personality, as a person who can say anything and be believed, how ever outrageous the lie, they don’t even question.
Trump and the MAGAS a good recent example. Putin,Hitler from the past.
Every tin pot dictator - and I see others building cults now, Farage.

Suggest you look at election results instead of polls. The only party stopping Reform at the ballot box is the LibDems.

To me, a populist is a politician who says whatever it takes to get elected, who builds a cult of personality rather than a foundation of ideas. Zac Polanski fits that description. I am not a Starmer supporter.

If they looked at our policies more would vote for us but it’s the cult of personality and sound bites that wins.
Sad but true.

The coalition prevented 3billion in cuts saving real people from pain, others grandstanding expecting them to sacrifice their lives on the altar of 19th century philosophy.
TB introduced tuition fees GB wanted to raise them. Don’t mention TB’s Iraqi War.
LibDems put People before Party.

I hope you’re right but I also thought that only a fool would vote Leave.
There’s a lot of them about.

Very brave of you to parade your ignorance in this way.
