You could argue that they've gone from promoting thinness to promoting thinness (with a brief spell of relative sanity in between), which would indeed make it a 360...
...but unfortunately the Graun hasn't made that argument and you are therefore 100% correct.

Lib Dems could do more on Social media for sure.
However, it's no substitute for putting in the legwork and knocking on doors. Real-life conversations make all the difference.

The "two party system" was smashed last year.
If 46 Labour MPs defected, the Lib Dems would be the official Opposition (and Labour would still have a very sizeable majority).
And guess who's winning most of the council by-elections this year?

Selection criteria depends on the polling company - they usually disclose it on their website.
I'd love to see some polling that properly examines whether people would consider voting tactically, why, and who they'd consider voting for.

Voters don't necessarily lie. When asked who they would vote for in a hypothetical election, they tend to tell the truth.
That doesn't reflect reality though. When push comes to shove, there are plenty who will vote tactically. Most polls miss this because they ask the wrong questions.

You clearly don't understand the first thing about Parliamentary politics. Carry on shouting into the void if you like, but I'm done lowering myself to your level.

You claimed that by abstaining, the Lib Dems allowed the Government to "go after" PA.
So either you didn't know you came up with a steaming pile of horseshit (ignorance), or you knew it was a steaming pile of horseshit (dishonesty).

Well let's start with the fact that I made no such assertion. I've made it clear on numerous occasions that the blame lies with Labour.
My issue is with Polanski using it to try & score a cheap political point against his closest Parliamentary allies.

Well in that case, you surely noticed your mutual's opening salvo, which was given the precise amount of respect it deserved.
