That's quite an accusation. I presume you have proof.

As I said before, I was demonstrating outside the Brighton centre, and many LibDems (including those in Brighton & Hove) were apologising for their fellow politicians in Lewes.

And how do you think local party costs are funded ? Equally Baker would obviously have central party backing as an MP ! The point I was also making was that you decide to highlight, via a tweet ( how suprising ! ) that the Brexit Party leadership can't be decided by members yet fail to point out the same is the case for Change UK which you've chosen not to mention, probably because they are pro-remain. Not balanced at all. It was nothing to do with who you planned to vote for. But of course we know you're so anti-Brexit that balance matters not to you.

Your post is so balanced with Of course, Obviously and probably. It all sounds very good until you look more carefully. Balanced my eye.

I'll be voting for the only party that has sensible policies on the most important issues. And the only party that actually HAS policies that half the party doesn't disagree with.

So that'll be the Lib Dems. Again.

I'm not sure how anyone can vote Tory or Labour at the moment. What would you actually be voting for?

As for the Pound Shorting Shyster, he's just loving the fact that he gets to build his part again. If Brexit ever actually happened he'd be screwed. Name calling it may be, but anyone who votes for Farage is really, REALLY stupid. Here's some snake oil to go with your Brexit Party vote. Sucker....

Nigal gave us the opportunity to vote to leave Europe which we did and won,so happy to leave things to him to ensure we do

Apart from all the slanging and arguments above, I will now be away on election day. How do I get a postal vote organised during next week?

Oh - I see I'm late with the news. In a way it's good to see more interest in these elections than the last time. Pity the EU parliament is such an expensive and (mostly) useless body.

If they could:

• Propose their own laws
• Were able to repeal laws
• Were able to amend laws without EU Council control
• Had a single location
• Could sack individual commissioners
• Reduced their expenses (daily attendance allowance etc)
• And be more than just a rubber-stamping exercise

then I would feel it would be more useful. As it is, I'm not sure it makes any difference who is elected. Maybe having people expensively there asking questions and causing a fuss gets something changed with EU legislation, but I'm not convinced.
