Swinson was defeated by other remainers.She thought her opinion was worth more than 17 million Brexit votes.
Got what she deserved.

Oh bugger, Layla is still around? At least she should be quiet and not be on the TV much.Thread needs new title
We received some more "literature" today urging us to vote Lib Dem... Bit too late Having said that Layla Moran increased her majority from 816 to 8943 which was impressive.

I hate to worry you:
The Liberal Democrats have held the previously-marginal seat of Oxford West and Abingdon with an increased majority.
Layla Moran, who won the seat from the Tories in 2017 by just 816 votes, has increased her majority to 8,943.
On a night that saw her party leader Jo Swinson lose her seat, Ms Moran did not rule herself out of the running for a leadership bid.
Asked whether she would stand, she said "we will have to wait and see".
My bold
I think that the thread title needs to be changed now .
"Layla Moran may be New Lib Dem Leader?" ?
10-20 years you would have thought.Sounds good to me. that's the Lib dems written off for the foreseeable future
Wouldn’t put it past some....I'm suprised remoaners not asking for another election.

fudgeing weasel with his racist mayoral campaign, crawled back to his party after an expensive vanity by-election he forced and lost, to win it back by 45 votes, and now lose it again. Please fudge off for good now Zac!It seems to be a ridiculous theme;
Zac Goldsmith in line to keep ministerial job with a peerage following his election defeat
Neil Kinnock rejected twice by the electorate, made millions from Europe now in the House of Lords. And after criticising it for years.

Triggered quick? I have a problem with failed MPs automatically going to the the House of Lords, Kinnock stands out for me as someone who has well rode the gravy train. There are plenty of others.At least he had led his Party for 9 years before that. This was also 14 years ago so not sure of the direct relevance, apart from pulling out a Labour politician in the face of criticism of politicians from both LibDem and Conservatives this week?
Well that’s utter BS. Surely the government or someone has a veto for BS nominations?!Only she can refuse, and she may do so, especially if she wants to return to the HoC again having lost her seat again

Nope, parties are allowed to submit their set number of nominations for dissolution honours, and they're not usually refused. You can't just decline the nomination because you don't like her or her party. It's not a BS nomination, dissolution honours are a thing and have been for as long as I've known.Well that’s utter BS. Surely the government or someone has a veto for BS nominations?!
