In a country that loves sheep as much as the UK, all sensible politicians should wear wool-vests. Good British wool-vests made with good British wool. Wool supported by EU subsidies. Vote Lib Dem.

Wool supported by EU subsidies so the Donald can rant about European subsidies or tariffs, like the other about the so-called "French" (in fact EU) tarifs on wine?

Why do they assume no deal creates "26 billion fiscal headroom"? Is that their obligations they are not willing to pay to the EU?

It kinda hit home for me how much British politics are in flux when RH started voting for Lib-Dem wool-vest types. 

Brexit will take the full bandwith of the British political establishment for at least the next 2 years. :hmm:

Well the Lib-Dems are also a coalition; there are the beardy tofu-munchers and the free market social liberals interested in liberty. I can only vote Labour if their right-wing is in charge, similarly with the Tories but their left-wing.

I'd die before voting tory.
Though even before brexit have swayed between lib dem and labour. The greens are OK too but rarely even run in my area.

Well, yeah, some people never gain any wisdom, no matter how long they live.

Though to be fair, if I lived in the UK I don't think I could vote Troy right now, either.

Always vote ABC, it's a lot like nuclear bombing from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

The Tories have a long record of coming into power and completely mucking things up.
Its wise not to vote for them.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
