Unfortunately I think the public or either too dim, or scared, or apathetic to change the status quo. Hence the vote for the backsliding fence sitters the Limp Dems.
Look at the proportional representation farrago, and that was proposed by Clegg.

PP: "I might even be on the barricades !" See you there, Peter, if only to prove to David Small that apathy hasn't brought all of us to our knees.

I really wish you are right bainbrig. I would love to kick the lot we tolerate out for good.

"He doesn't take his role as MEP seriously..."

Nobody should take the role of an MEP seriously. The "Parliament" is not worthy of the name and its Members are as useful as chocolate fireguards.

In fairness I’m not sure you can accuse the Lib Dems of sitting in the fence:
“Vote for us to stop Brexit” is about as unfencelike as it gets, whether you agree with them or not.

[ToraToraTora]

yes ich, I just wish they remove the word "democrats" from their name.

^Agreed. That has to be contrary to Trades Description legislation!
