What, no comments from the drop-in, drop-out tories on this yet?

I can’t imagine why anyone would do this. Labour may be disintegrating but if I were a social democrat I wouldn’t go over to a party that treated its social democrats like dirt, and simply swallowed them up whole into the yellow diamond, dog-muck-politics, beard and sandals nonsense.

If you can’t even say who you are, should we take any notice of you at all?

So that’ll be a couple more local by-elections for us, will it?

Hmmm. One suspects not.

I’m with anonymous, and as ever signing my name. And I lived in Wycombe for 13 years. Under Tories. With a very visible Liberal HQ and no Labour Party to speak of.

As a social democrat I wouldn’t go over to a franchise operation that treated its social democrats like dirt, and simply swallowed them up whole into the yellow diamond, dog-muck-politics, beard and sandals nonsense.

Notice shall now be taken?

Stop stirring. The straw man you’ve created doesn’t bear any resemblance to anything that happens in real life.
