If this election goes well for us do I gloat because the party adopted the exact positioning I said would work, and it worked? Or Do I eat humble pie because I didn't think Ed could do it? If we do badly then the reverse question applies!!! It's quite the dilemma.

Over 65s, I love you very much but when a government does badly you really do need to vote against it. This may be the best argument for the Lib Dem policy of legalising cannabis. It would do wonders for Tory voters willingness to change their vote based on the govt's record.

This is the level of polling I said would be exciting, I stand by it. I know it's just one poll, etc. Etc. But this level is exciting.

Not an amazing start to the last day of Lib Dem internal elections. Watering down our view on rights while we fall in the polls. Not feeling terribly proud of us today.

Still not breaking out of our post 2012 polling slump? Very bad. Winning 40ish MPs? very good!! We do need to be more than a tactical vote for Labour voters in the south though.

I'm sure voters will ultimately vote tactically and we'll do fine. However, for those of us who have, for years, pointed out that thinking of voters as switching neatly from Tory to LibDem rather than Labour because we're "in the middle" was absolute nonsense this is vindicating.

It's another one where the Tory vote has collapsed and it's done us absolutely zero good. We desperately need to fix the problem of our tainted brand with those voters who switched to Lab (Or Green). Also: the LD + Green vote is still noticeably close to the pre-2010 LD vote.

Just in case anyone was wondering where our voters are and why we can't attract more Conservative voters by being more economically right wing!

Good for the nation, no doubt. For Lib Dems our concern is that the leadership still seem to believe, it total detail of all evidence, that we can win a bunch of seats by taking Tory votes. If the Conservatives can go down to 21% and we also lose then that goal seems unlikely.

We really seemed to have fixed our polling problems for a while but we've gone back down. There seems to be some chattering that cancelling conference might have been wise but it really wasn't helpful in term of publicity. We need to consider how to gain back that free media.

You can perfectly reasonably say this is a cheap and unfair attack on Ed if you like (well... mostly). The problem is we were told this would never come in when really it's a clear weakness. It doesn't have to be personal against Ed for this to be an obvious problem.

It may be helpful to Sarah for us to say that, while the language is clunky, LGBT issues are usually covered under the "conformity" part of the quote. E.g. we would be unlikely to have a group at conference that demanded Trans people drop their true identity in order to conform.
