We will lose members, supporters and voters who don't understand how we can coalesce with the Tories and put tribalism over making things work.

I am very close to abandoning the Lib Dems, but I don't like the implication that this is purely because of tribalism. I don't dislike the Tories because of some tribal loyalty to another political party. I dislike them because time and time again they've shown me and people like me that we simply aren't equal and never will be. I think I have more than sufficient right as someone who IDs as both queer and disabled to be absolutely horrified by the thought of anyone willingly co-operating with the Conservatives, and I'm getting sick of being expected to be the better person here.

The Tory plans for welfare reform appear to be going ahead unchecked. I can only assume the Lib Dems didn't care enough to try and challenge this. I'm pretty used to feeling like a political afterthought, but damn.

Sorry, I am a random stranger who found this on latestthings. I didn't mean to sound quite as irate.
