Maybe that's why she went SNP...Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128264.post-84293012331229784672011-07-21T23:06:13.343+01:002011-07-21T23:06:13.343+01:00We, in the Lib Dems are lucky enough to have a dem...We, in the Lib Dems are lucky enough to have a democratic party, one in which the leadership must obey the membership when directed by Conference.<br /><br />It's unfortunate that Elaine disagreed with the direction of the party, specifically the Federal Party. However, she's never been to Federal Conference in the past two years, and she didn't attend the special conference ratifying the UK coalition agreement, nor was she at the recent Scottish forum which discussed the future of the party.<br /><br />Elaine can criticise the coalition and the direction of the party all she wants - it's her right as a member of the party and as a Liberal Democrat (other parties won't take so kindly to someone criticising them) - but the fact is, she's the one who hasn't made the effort to change the direction of the party.<br /><br />Sadly I think this has more to do with re-election rather than direction. Elaine's made clear her opposition to independence many, many times before.Andrew Tibbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02592514889321509283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128264.post-27364474820488782122011-07-21T22:59:50.871+01:002011-07-21T22:59:50.871+01:00I dont get it either. Last I heard she was standin...I dont get it either. Last I heard she was standing down anyway and doing this achieves nothing. In fact, waiting until after the election next may and then voicing her opinions may have actually got her more respect.Douglas McLellanhttp://www.douglasmclellan.netnoreply@blogger.com
