To think I can't be the only one who likes Jo Swinson

She gets slated on twitter and irl I don't know anyone who likes her especially. But I think she's great (not perfect) and admire what she's doing and feel like she's someone I'd be friends with.

Granted @HairyTrotter , just a bit despondent that we could be facing the ‘ keep voting until we get the result that we want’ scenario. I feel that it’s unhelpful after all this time. I feel that , as a nation, we need closure on the matter and need to focus our attentions to what this country really needs.

@trewser I guess it would work the same as proofing does on alcohol legalisation.

But the strains that are very high in thc cause all kinds of mental health issues. And it can trigger psychotic episodes in some. A one off glass of whisky isn't the same.

Sam Galbraith was the best MP. In Stathkelvin and Bearsden. Before they gerimandered Kirkintilloch, by cutting off Twechar and East Harestanes in to Cumbernauld. It was always a swing seat. Here's hoping it swings out of the Libdem grasp.

Didn't she vote for fracking?
She's grim.

I'm fairly sure Jo Swinson's own unshakeable regard for Jo Swinson means she thinks any other opinions are pretty irrelevant. She genuinely does seem to think she's going to be the next Nick Clegg, as it were.

I dislike her as I don't trust her, in the light of her voting record and her body language. The mouth can say what it likes. Body language is much, much more revealing as it's harder to conceal, even when you've had training.

I don't trust the Lib Dems as far as they could be thrown, in the light of their having leapt into bed with the Tories because Nick 'n' Dave appeared to be having a bromance. Just look at the body language whenever they were near one another if you don't believe me.

They have ONE policy. Remain. Anything else will be coloured, once they've worked out who's winning, to give them the maximum chance of stalking the halls of power again. A bit like the Percy family at Bosworth....

I'm an ardent remainer but personally I'd rather have a sensible Brexit policy (retaining trading rights, worker protection and the freedom to move around) under a Labour government than put my vote in the Yellow Tory box.

Lib dem are,sell outs who woud get into bed with anyone and agree to anything for a sniff of power?
Tuition fees?

I would bite for the Brexit party if they were standing here

Didn't she vote for fracking? She's grim.

She voted against a review of its impact and against a moratorium. She has also had £14k from a donor who has fracking licences... So even if throwing women under the bus isn't bad enough to prevent you voting for her, hopefully her environmental 'credentials' will.

No, I think you are on your own, op!
