I happen to have a generous supply if you'd you'd like some. It does, however, turn your skin a vibrant shade of orange.
Anyway, I'm genuinely torn over the leadership race. It's a choice between a competent and safe pair of hands who'll spend his entire leadership answering questions about his role during the coalition years, or an unknown quantity with a safer majority who'll spend her entire leadership answering questions about pansexuality and the time she slapped her boyfriend.
Oh yes, they both have policies too; Davey is slightly more centre-right than Moran, who's therefore slightly more centre-left. But it's a matter of emphasis rather than serious disagreement, and realistically my focusing on superficials merely predicts what both NSG and much of the British media will spend most of the next few years wringing their hands over.
I can only hope that if Moran is elected, she has better answers to the pansexuality and boyfriend slapping than Tim Farron offered over gay marriage; though I think we can safely assume she doesn't think the latter is a sin.
I keep hearing about this boyfriend slapping incident. What happened there?
She had an argument with her boyfriend over an extension lead and slapped him.
The careometer for MRAs and people concerned with it hit about a 2/10 given our understanding that an isolated act of violence isn't abuse. Mostly focused on commentary on how the media treated it differently and discussions on relationship stress and so on.
But then she had to go and try and justify it and make out he had it coming, and Jess Phillips and all the other people who shouldn't have a job went to bat for her, and the careometer went to 10/10, never voting for her, you've got enemies now mate.
I don't want some delusional misandrist running the country running her mouth off about how emotionally volatile women are justified in hitting their partners.
I'd also suggest you might hit something akin to BLM there, though feminists are likely to flip out over the comparison.
Nominate someone in the modern era who openly shills for police brutality against black people and you'll get riots and violence.
Nominate Layla Moran, and Lib Dem campaigners are going to be inundated with harassment and threats in a digital riot, and that reaction will be about as justified as if you nominated an open racist.
