It's Jo Swinson.

That's fine, I could have lived with either. Swinson now has hard work to do.

Following recent elections the party has momentum, notice the lower case m, behind it, and that needs to be kept going. And while she might not have a lot to do regarding Remain or revoking A50, those tickets have already been bought, she will have to work with other parties in order not to split the vote.

I can see constituency pacts being made and possibly a lot of work being done to get Change MPs to do a Chuka.

Hmm I don't know much about her, so will reserve judgement until I do.

Well, yes. They are both untested as leaders so that would apply to either.

If Labour eventually get off the fence and declare as an unambiguous Remain party, then I don't think the LibDems will pick up a fat lot of support.

Nor do I think they will get a lot of support if Boris takes us out, do-or-die, on October 31st, because hen Brexit will not have been stopped and we'll be putting the whole fiasco of the last 3 years behind us.

However - in the current situation of uncertainty - the LibDems best hope, it seems to me, arises if an early general election is called/forced upon us. They might then just gain some traction ……..
