  • Iirc the issue was they said they wouldn’t and broke ranks for an opportunity.

    Lib Dems campaigned on student loans. They got seats and support because of it, and many felt betrayed. They rebrand themselves often. They’re the rich but nice party. Free market capitalism with a plastic carrier bag tax. You forget they enabled austerity, and supported health reform that lead to the nursing shortage. They could have held firm on their red lines but they got drunk on opportunity. The question is if they ever cared about Brexit or saw an opportunity to position the party and ran with it.

    Trust is a big thing in politics for lefties.
