By the time of the debate LDs could be 30% behind the Tories and 20% behind Lab.
Plus keeping Swinson off screen is not a negative for them she's useless
It doesn't matter if she's useless she only has to be better than Johnson and Corbyn. That would be about as hard as beating a three legged tortoise in a marathon.
You have any evidence that she's any better than Johnson who is a three-times proven winner already?
She's won more votes in the House of Commons than he has *innocent face*
Being serious the House of Commons reflects how popular Theresa May was and gay sex obsessed Farron.
Swinson should at least have a better campaign than Farron did as I can't see her spending 4 weeks tied up in knots about whether or not gay sex is a sin.
To an extent. But she also didn't start her leadership by expelling 7% of her MPs including two former Chancellors.
Johnson's expelling the rebels was a stroke of genius. May's Tories were incredibly riven and unmanageable, it was a disaster.
Johnson was elected on a very clear mandate and by expelling Clarke, Hammond and co he sent a very clear message that the unruly and divided nature of the party had to end now. The party united then, May barely got half her own MPs backing her in the first Meaningful Vote - after the expulsions Johnson got virtually every single Tory MP backing him.
It did get rid of some “moderates” but none of the expelled faction were rich in talent - Hammond in particular was an uninspiring CoTE.
The most striking thing about these latest two polls, and other recent ones, is that the LibDems don't seem to be picking up the levels of support which one might expect given the political environment and the states of the two big parties.
Swinson might be out on 12th December.
Bring on Chuka?
That requires Chuka to win Cities of London and Westminster from a poor third.
It's possible. But unlikely.
Given the LD surge in central London polls not impossible, especially with Labour tactical voting and no incumbent as Mark Field is standing down
