Tim Farron quits as Lib Dem leader.
Not a fan of the guy but thought he did a good job considering the party's reputation after the coalition with the Tories. Weird that he has gone before Theresa May.

Well maybe he and the libDems are just trying to jump the curve they can see coming !
If there IS to be another election in the not too distant future, as seems quite likely with May still needing the support of her own, let alone anybody else to prop up her government. And the sooner they get a new leader and a new Manifesto up and running the more visible they'll be to the potential voters when the time comes.

@thatscottishguy: Fairplay, i thought it was twice.
Well, you guys might get more out of Europe as an independent nation than as part of the UK. And nobody could blame you for wanting that.
It's very disheartening knowing that not one of the major parties seems to have a solid plan post-Brexit.

I think the unionists have tried to say it was twice because of the referendum in 1979. That was on devolution though and the devolution side only technically lost as Labour used 40% rule (only time it was used) which meant 40% of the electorate had to vote for it. Although people voted in favour of devolution, the voter turnout wasn't high enough.
It really is a ridiculous situation to be in. The parties should have been prepared for either result. The Tories don't seem to know what to try while the other parties are just clinging onto the idea that we could maybe get all the benefits of the EU after leaving.

@firefall: Not exactly got plenty of political heavyweights to take the reigns.
