My life would be much poorer without your political reflections.
Nobody makes me think more than you, even when I don’t agree.
That is very powerful.
I voted Lib Dem (despite some misgivings about Policy - because -hey- no party can perfectly reflect ME)
Not because I thought that another referendum for Scotland would be a good thing right now, but because I could see that forcing a country to a state of subjugating its preferences to England (NI/Wales) was unwise.
Self determination. NOT being held back by another country that wished to pull in a different direction.
That is one of the reasons why I cannot vote Lib Dem now.
I don’t know how you get over that one. The numbers don’t work.
But I could not see how they would win in that configuration.
That is a little consolation to me
Their starting points and finishing points were too far apart.
But if they want to secure their position maybe they really should broaden their position to a Celtic Strip West of England (but make sure you include Cheltenham) .
That way there WOULD BE the votes.
So don’t give up, Steve. Your wisdom is precious and necessary
Just don’t.
But step back. Rest. Think how to get what is right by doing things bigger.
You are a person who strives towards goodness without being prissy.
We need the warming light of goodness like never before.
