Re: TINGE to CHANGE
There’s good reason to vote Green in the East of England. We were only 1% of a seat last time.
I’ve spent the day leafleting and canvassing - and it was a good day! Lots of positive feedback.
I couldn’t bring myself to vote Lib Dem. They paint themselves as the pro-Europe choice, but they’re only doing so to try and shore up their domestic vote for the inevitable General Election. People are seeing through their opportunism. .

Isn't Mr R a LibDem member? Or did he cut up his membership when I did a couple of years ago?Regulator wrote: ↑5 years agoThere’s good reason to vote Green in the East of England. We were only 1% of a seat last time.

BTW, my son's namesake, the author Robert Macfarlane is endorsing/campaigning for the Greens. He's one of my heroes......so I might be persuaded.

Re: TINGE to CHANGE
I genuinely think that Nick Clegg bears significant responsibility for Brexit. The episode of tuition fees was for many people the final straw that made them regard all politicians and the political process with contempt, that then led them to vote "sod the lot of them Leave.Rutabaga wrote: ↑5 years agoI can't bring myself to vote for those LibDem scumbags, ever since Norman Baker stood on my doorstep in the Lewes constituency and promised that a vote for him would 'keep the Tories out', the lying unprincipled little toad. I'd vote Tory before I ever vote for them, i.e., never.

Re: TINGE to CHANGE
Again - anyone trying to convince themselves that the last European elections are a good guide to this one is deluding themselves.
A number of people here seem to have convinced themselves that the Lib Dems are even worse than Tony Blair. I think the evidence of the local elections is that you're in a small minority.
(Edit)
And the evidence of the polls.

Yeah, before that they had MEPs in the SE, where you're telling us they're weak.

Well remainvoter.com is recommending that people in London and the south-east vote ChangeUK.

Re: TINGE to CHANGE
"The Liberal Democrats look secure on 2 seats and the Greens on 1 seat. Neither will get another, so vote Change UK to get a 4th Remainer seat in the Southeast."
Which I find surprising as a piece of tactical advice, since it potentially includes the seeds of its own destruction.
