BossMan could you please restore me to non-aligned. I someone how managed to delete myself from the non-aligned group a couple of months ago. So you've been sitting as non-aligned non-aligned ? This is getting to be like Stoke Council...

Brings to mind the old joke "why do you have to be a nonconformist just like everyone else".

The things which unite the Liberal Party are loathing of the EU and the Liberal Democrats! That theory fails as I have a LibDem diamond in my front garden that is the only one I've seen in a town of 40,000 people. LibDem leavers are maybe 5,000 or more of the LD membership.. a not insignificant number. If life is made too uncomfortable for them, they have a place to go..The flow post May 2015 was back to the LibDems and now the net flow is the other way.. Far be it for me to refer to a "surge" that would be sounding too LibDem of me... But what evidence is there of life being made uncomfortable?

Liverpool Liberals have no time for the LDs at all In other news ... I've heard the Pope may be a Catholic.

Dear BossMan Please would you change my affiliation to non-aligned Thanks I hope this is not too traumatic Pete? The UKIP ethos still lives as a significant faction inside the Conservatives. The Brexit movement looks far more secure than under Cameron and than it did before the EU began to really piss off May. Well done for all that work over the years. It was probably always going to end like this. It is not a defeat but a transformation.

It isn't traumatic because I had already decided on this around the time of the Stoke by-election when I finally lost patience with the rank incompetence of the party at all levels and any shred I had left was destroyed by some local experiences. However I was already committed as candidate and agent for the May elections and unlike some others I didn't think it particularly honourable to quit before those elections were complete. Also my membership becomes due for renewal at this time of year and I have to decide whether it is worthwhile to renew it - clearly I have decided not.
It's clear now that the the party didn't end in defeat yesterday but in victory 11 months ago. It is not a bad record for a party founded less than a quarter of a century ago

Dear BossManPlease would you change my affiliation to non-aligned Thanks Is there anyone left in the sinking ship? Me for now. I'm going to give it until the dust settles on the general election, though I'm not optimistic. After that, I will probably let my membership expire. Its all becoming a bit pointless with these sorts of results.

Yeah, looking very much as if next month's election will be the last rites for UKIP - something I was still sceptical about until recently (despite the referendum result) Given that it is just three years since they won a national election, that's pretty remarkable.

It is amazing what you think about when on tour in India. I am non-aligned because, although basically a staunch Conservative, I was decidedly not a Cameroon, Osbornite etc, and getting out of Europe is/was crucial. UKIP therefore was a home for my vote for a bit. Now though there is only one sensible vote for me. Do I therefore "come clean" on the forum? In all honesty, I think I ought to make a reality of the blindingly obvious. Please, therefore, Mr iainbhxadmin turn me blue. Thank you.
