Hi Matt,
Do you want to argue this particular case or do you have your own shining exemplar?
Or, perhaps you want to deal with the topic in general?

This may or may not be related to the thread title, but I do believe our very own Paul McKeown stood for the Liberal Democrats yesterday in Hillingdon MBC.

He didn't do all that well, but fighting the good fight is what is important ;)

Paul did THIS WELL. But it takes some chutzpah to put up for the LibDems these days

What are the Lib Dems about? The Tories with kid gloves on? Oops, sorry, that's Labour. Sod it, I haven't the foggiest. Admirable politician? Oxymoron -- and I say it matter-of-factly, not bitterly and not cynically. It's a politician's job to make false promises. to engage in euphemism and circumlocution, to betray swathes of his constituents. That's politics.
