I like Jo, always have, and she could easily be the next PM. If it were a choice between her, Boris and Corbyn, she would win every time for me

Honestly her voice grates on me.

Her delivery too is so annoying too, the hand gestures.

She's irritated me since she was a Minister in the coalition.

She might want to hold the same energy about her party that she has with Labour, she (and everyone else) would be up in arms if Labour or Brexit members were caught singing songs like LibDem members were at the conference

Granted, Blair is abhorrent and should be in prison, but imagine the uproar from Swinson and the like if something like this came from anyone but their own party?

The biggest thing to come out of this conference was Verhofstadt's Hitler esque speech on Empires, and the ovation it received from the Lib-Dem conference.

Nobody wants to mention Verhofstadt's speech.

Post his speech Arista.

Empires are the future, nation states will be no more.

Can't find the whole speech but heres a bit you talk about

Quote:

‘The world of tomorrow is not a world order based on nation states or countries. It is a world order that is based on empires. China, is not a nation, it’s a civilisation. India… is not a nation… The US is also an empire, more than a nation… And then finally the Russian federation.

The world of tomorrow is a world of empires in which we Europeans, and you British, can only defend your interests, your way of life, by doing it together, in a European framework and in the European Union.’
Looks like he is a fervent federalist. Some in the EU are, others are not. The jury is out. Anyway it's too early to talk about that, theres no much support anyway

I don't actually think she made a strong speech.

Watching it again and the small coverage it got.
Leaves it a rather hollow event really.
Just my view, however I'm not finding much enthusiasm towards her since the speech.
