The problem is I'm not a lib Dem. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.

North Shropshire Big Liberal Win
- Thread starter Scots_Knight
- Start date
Not quite, it's the second biggest swing to the libs, so it has happened before.
The current polls nationally have the libs at 10%, would put the champers back on ice

Ha.The problem is I'm not a lib Dem. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I actually voted for the f**k democracy Party last time.
Heck. I even had to add them to the list.
If I was cynical, I would suggest Boris actually engineered this defeat, as an excuse to do a massive U turn and go full on hard right.
But I'm probably wrong.
So when did the tories loose in North Shropshire last then?
I'm a beer drinker thank you and I'm not a Lib Dem voter either. Its nice to see that people are still willing to show there discontent regardless of how they have voted in the past. Politicans need to be reminded that they are elected by the people to serve the people and not to line there own pockets for personal gain.

Sense at last.
There we are we have common ground. Although I support Wales in the rugby and you support England. No common ground there

No chance of anything other than a second, third or whatever generation, token immigrant Tory in this area.There we are we have common ground. Although I support Wales in the rugby and you support England. No common ground there
Nothing I can identify with stands a chance.

It's got nothing to do with what you like or dislike.
Do one, deserter.
I think you will find it was ramped up to discourage the publicity seekers who took advantage of the free postage available to candidates. Before the days of facebook this was a big draw and used by several hopeful pop stars
And Lindi St Clair aka Miss Whiplash (The Corrective Party)
And Cynthia Payne (The Payne and Pleasure Party)

To put things in perspective, Helen Morgan received 17,000 or so votes in total, Owen Paterson had a 23,000 majority last time, that’s 23,000 more than the runner up.
Of course it’s a bit of a shock for the Tory’s, North Shropshire been Conservative for over 200 years.
By elections are funny old things, I voted Lib Dem this time for the first time ever, even got some large placards at the road side for them.
It’s not that I have any rea support for them but I like many others wanted to give the Tory’s a good shake, I was never a fan of Owen Paterson, always had him down as only interested in himself so was glad to see him gone but despite this being a Tory stronghold, the party couldn’t find a decent local candidate or more likely weren’t interested in the locals and wanted to slip one of their own into a safe seat. The Lib Dem’s we’re realistically the only party I could vote for to shake the conservatives, virtually unthinkable that labour stood a cat in hells chance in a Tory stronghold.
Add to that plenty of bad press on the Conservative party recently and it’s easy to see why people didn’t vote for the Conservative candidate, labour and Conservative voters both realising that the only party they could vote for to cause a Tory up set was the Lib Dem’s along with plenty of conservative voters who were totally disillusioned with the conservatives and whilst they didn’t vote for anyone else, they quite simply didn’t bother to vote.
It’s almost unthinkable that North Shropshire won’t return to blue next time although it is to be hoped that the Conservative party pick their candidate more wisely next time instead of trying to parachute in an outsider
