A vast improvement on that obnoxious little turd we've just got rid of.

Brexit has revealed the charade at Westminster for what it is. 600 odd MP's who can barely articulate an argument, are creaming the taxpayer for every penny they can squeeze.

Her party of turncoats is arguably standing on one of the most extreme policy agendas ever put to the electorate. Far from the image of sensible moderation the Liberal Democrats try to project at a national level, the longer this election goes on, the more the party's local campaigning tactics expose them as anything but...…."
