Think I may consider voting lib dem for the first time ever

Ever though I am generally in favour of Brexit.

That probably sounds weird but I would just like a party that will not completely f**k up the United Kingdom to if not control parliament then have a degree of significant control over it. They are generally pretty sensible the lib dems and are decent at a local level. With the other choices being Boris or Corbyn this really should be their time because I cannot see the vast majority of the country trusting Corbyn (or more accurately those who sit behind him) once he gets his mits on power.

My MP is actually the speaker so no idea if the lib dems will put a candidate up. If they don't then I will vote for whoever I can to get Bercow out.
