Jo Swinson - New Lib Dem Leader

Yeah you would, cos if they happened to be the only party who could deliver on Brexit you wouldn't have any problem at all. 12 pieces of silver and all.

You could be right, I mean she wants to deny Scotland a 2nd referendum so she may change her mind for the UK

My point. Many Brexiters seem to have nailed their colours to the mast and will vote for anyone who can deliver on Brexit. So it doesn't matter what they've done in the past, no matter how two-faced or deceitful. Brexit overrides everything.

Its never going to happen though she has already said (as much) that she would go into coalition with JC providing they legislate a 2nd referendum.
It seems very clear who you need to vote for depending on which side of the fence your on.

Both Ed Davey and Jo Swinson could support a Labour prime minister

Even though your link is only a few days old, I think she has since ruled out supporting Labour or any sort of coalition.

I'd have to have a look for an official piece on it.

But as you know my Brexit discussion days are over but I will just say I don't think it will get to the point where there will be a chance for any coalition. In the near future anyway, as I don't believe Johnson will call a GE anytime soon.

Nope nada zilch chance of them turning 180 degrees and even less chance of me voting for them.

LM1405

My point, most remainers will vote for anyone who can stop Brexit no matter what they've done in the past.

Bigfingers

It's a good point. People who want the referendum have been consistent. All the flapping about tactical voting and smaller parties making way for lib dem is frankly pathetic and shows the desperation.

I digress however...back to Jo

You are probably correct although with the Conservative/DUP majority looking increasingly perilous, it is difficult to see how a Johnson Government will pass a budget let alone actually govern. The Lib Dem’s may yet be kingmakers.
