The question Remainers should be asking: are we really so sure the Lib Dems will oppose any future Brexit deal a Tory PM might broker?
Because recent worrying signs are that the Lib Dems may not be so against a Brexit deal after all.
First of all, news has leaked that the Liberal Democrats in Scotland are already discussing doing a deal with Scots Tories. This would help ensure the Tories remain the largest party in Westminster, thereby making some form of a Brexit deal much more likely.
Secondly, Lib Dem leaders have announced that they would prefer Tory MP Ken Clarke to be the temporary PM if any vote of No Confidence in Boris Johnson’s government succeeds.
But Ken Clarke is vehemently AGAINST a 2nd referendum and he voted 3 TIMES FOR BREXIT (May’s deal):
This means the Lib Dems are openly planning to support a pro-(deal)Brexit, anti-referendum PM in Downing St.
On top of that, the Lib Dems do not – to say the least – have a good record when it comes to standing up to Tories.
Jo Swinson, the Lib Dem leader, has actually voted FOR Tory policies more than some Tory cabinet ministers themselves:
So. Can we trust the Lib Dems to stand up to a Tory PM and hold out against any softer Brexit deal the Tories may come up with instead of No Deal?
Perhaps we can get the Lib Dems to promise not to do any Brexit deal with the Tories if they hold the balance of power.
Or maybe they could make a pledge.
Oh, wait …
Fool me once
Pride's Purge 
there is no doubt that the Lib Dems would go in with the conservatives guaranteed

Never ever trust a Tory, the LibDems are just another arm of the Tory Party and just like the true blue Tories, the yellow Tories lie and lie and lie – remember Student Loans which they had decided not to honour even before the election

the future is simple you vote for conservative and further austerity or labour for a change of direction. voting liberal is just to remain with a conservative face and will appeal to those that would prefer someone different to Boris johnson. of course if its a deal Brexit then the Brexit party comes to life for the next 5 years in order to get a full no deal Brexit

Tom, none of this should come as a surprise, especially after the miserable coalition they were party to; they are indeed two cheeks of the same arse. The Lib Dems have proven themselves to be yellow Tories time and again.

Labour supporters are quick to criticise, but I just ask one question. What do they suggest LDs should have done in 2010 when ‘the will of the people’ was not to have a Labour govt. The choices were a coalition or the likelihood of economic crisis. Just asking.

Can you explain the methodology behind your voting figures? Where did you get your data and how did you collate it to come up with those numbers?

Jil Hall: The LDs did not have to go into government with the Tories.
They could have supported them until such time as it was possible to hold another general election, especially as the “will of the people” was evidently so unclear.
Instead, they sold out every last principle they may have ever held to get into bed with the Tories and to try to outbid them in neo-liberal austerity extremism.
Thousands – probably getting on for hundreds of thousands now – of people literally died as a result of the Tory/Lib austerity measures.
Is that a legacy to be proud of?
