I think they've finally cracked the name issue though.

I'd vote for that.

The old way of doing things is over, this is a new era, new politics. We're not a political party, we're a lunch.

Even here, they've been unable to pick a colour and have got the same banner twice (with both of their names) but in 2 colours.

I know someone already posted it here, but Peep Show's Alan Johnson and his "Consortio/Consortius" does keep coming to mind.

In fairness, he looks like he's regretting that decision (and every decision that has brought him to this point in his life)

Interesting how many people desert/back parties just because of how well or badly they are perceived to be doing. The Lib Dem recovery in the local elections has probably killed things for CHUK, never mind their own pathological incompetence and hypocrisy.

Imagine a party being "killed off" by the Lib Dems.

Like being beaten to death by an underdone baked potato.

In this case they were basically creating a party that was no different from the Lib Dems, just comprised of even more untrustworthy people.

No-one, including themselves have been able to explain what difference they offer versus the Lib Dems.

There was a small window where they could have replaced them as the de facto centrist choice, but the last election results have nailed the coffin lid shut. It would be even better if we can force a general election and effectively remove them all from parliament.

They'll be in skips and charity shops across the land in the coming months so keep an eye out.

Haha that's brilliant, they're SO shit, literally EVERY SINGLE THING about them is embarrassing. Really this whole ride from literally the day after they formed (ie funny tinge) till now has been a welcome respite from the general horrors of our current political moment and a real lesson in how being even the most vaguely competent political party is not as easy as it looks (and definitely not as easy as they thought).

biggytitbo

To their credit they have succeeded in uniting a divided country. United them in thinking change UK are almost unbelievably shit.

QuoteUh oh... hear some Change UK MPs have talked about finding a way out after the Euros following the party's calamitous first few months. Conversations have been had with former Labour colleagues. CHUK currently polling ~2% and below the Greens and LibDems
