    but you've just said you'll resign if you get the MUN role?
    No I did not mean that, what I meant to say was that if I get the EU Secretariat position then I am stepping down from the Committee which is looking at a Uper Chamber

    I can see you as a speaker, I think you'd be better suited to it than party leader. An impartial position which requires less decision making could be good. I genuinely think you'd do a decent job.
    Just as an aside, I don't think there is a role in the HoC which requires more decision making than that of Speaker! And comparing this job with leading TSR Labour, I can assure you that the decisions one has to make as Speaker are far more difficult and consequential!

    To make it clearer that you were making a verb out of the title of a novel rather than simply making a spelling error?
    But that would be making life too simple. Besides, have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

    Obvious quote from Batman. Do try harder.

    The quote wasn't the point, but rather the next line. "I ask that of all my prey". After all, anyone familiar with Terry Pratchett's works would have instantly recognised the title of that particular novel. So the point becomes one in which you are complaining at my lack of italics to illustrate a non-standard reference for something you weren't familiar with but failing to do so with something that you are. Perhaps it's you who should try harder. Or we can end this rather pointless and circular "argument" since I made my point a while back.

    His story was straight, it was only your misinterpretation of it. When asked about WT and the HoL thread (nothing to do with the Leadership of the party, I'd say), he replied:

    "I made a deal which was that I will be stepping down when my MUN position as EU Bloc Secretariat is confirmed. I am waiting for TC to post my Manifesto up and if I am elected then I will be stepping down"

    Moleman thought that he was talking about his leadership of the LDs, you believed him, now you're trying to make it seems like it was his fault, when in fact it was your misinterpretation of the comments (or at least belief of Moleman's misinterpretation). Get your facts straight, boy!

    I believe more people will have seen a famous film than a book in a very long series written by an old man with dementia.

    Well that's your own prejudice to deal with.

    fair enough then, I probably should have worded that better. I think he'd perform better in an impartial role.

    :facepalm: maybe that should have been included in the post where you said it, clears things up a bit.

    And perhaps you have a prejudice against the TSR Liberal Democrats to deal with.

    Not just the TSR Liberal Democrats, it's all Liberal Democrats. And, y'know, my prejudice stems from policy and occasionally personality. Not easily reconciled. Yours, on the other hand, needs you to read a book and not poke fun at a relatively old man with a nightmarish illness. I've never met you before but you certainly conform to the typecasting of a Liberal Democrat. Probably even a privately educated one at that.

    Do any members of the TSR Liberal Democrats advocate a further shift to the right economically?

    If the TSR votes for a republic, what is the model for an elected head of state the TSR Lib Dems would advocate?

    I would advocate for an elected president to act as head of state, as I feel this is the most democratic option.

    Hopefully TSR will vote to keep the Monarchy. I will be voting for the Monarchy compared to my Deputy who will vote for a Republic.

    If TSR votes for a Republic then a directly elected President.
