Well, the UK networks are currently suggesting the live debates will exclude LD, so nothing can be taken for granted.

Undecided.
Labour v LibDem
in a Tory stronghold.

But this would be hypothetical, yes? As in, you've been 'AWOL' for more than fifteen years?

Correct. I should have included that in my post. I will have to hug my knees and bite my nails as the UK goes to the polls.
It is why I did not choose one of the two and then cast a vote on the poll .

Emboldened bit: you're cool, Mr Jings used the conditional tense in post #1 ;)

That said, had I had have had a vote, I would have to say 'other' in response to this poll. Even if I had had to stump up the subscription fee (losing it) and sign-on as an independent 'potential aligner'.

Expat from a Tory stronghold.

Who will likely be biting his knees and hugging his nails.

My parents actually became members of the Lib Dems because of their stance against Brexit. Will be interesting to see what happens.

Should have read the question, as I can't vote SNP in my "home" constituency. But, I can't vote anyhow, so no matter.

It's outrageous if they don't let Jo join. She's such a breath of fresh air and the Dems have a bold Brexit policy.
