    New Leader Announced

    After months of campaigning the new leader was tonight revealed.

    Jo Swinson becomes the first female leader of the liberal democrats.

    And what an excellent choice - a real force of nature.

    Although I doubt if she will get many warm words on here with the majority being popularist, divisive types

    A popularist is a politician who advocates specific policies just because they are popular.

    Examples include Boris, Corbyn, Sinkov, Farage and Trump.

    I'm intrigued 59, you say Sir Nigel of Farage is a popularist, but he ran UKIP for years and they were annihilsted at every GE they stood in. Not many more than the proverbial two men and a dog were voting for him, so which specific popular policy was he advocating ? I think we should be told.

    Corbyn? He's about as popular as a snake in a swimming pool.

    Who TF is Jo Swinson? Is he like Jo Grimond or that old queen you last had?

    I remember her now! She's the one who doesn't believe in democracy. No bloody wonder the Lib Dems picked her over Ed Davy...

    Finally...we are about to have a decent PM.

    But we will have to endure Boris for a short while yet.
