I hear it will be a sell out....or was that just the party.
Password party-over.

Does that sum take in to account the amount that will have to be spent on security and the usual disruption?

Will they have sold out completely to the conservatives by then?

Where have the LibDem members got these ten million smackers from? And to blow on a weekend by the sea?

I should have thought they would have been bringing their own sandwiches in plastic tubs from Poundland.

Absolute rubbish. It will cost a fortune and they do not have that much money for their whole election budget. The only money being spent will be the Met and Kent and Sussex plod on overtime and the Hotels. Expect a hike in Council tax...
By then, the Country will know exactly what they think of the Liberals...and expect Security to cost twice as much

I agree , by the time of the next election I expect that they will have "merged" with the Conservatives. The right wing of the Party will then be members of the new ConLib party and the true liberals will have joined Labour in disgust at what their Leadership have done.
