After listening to this for an hour, I gather that Amendment 1 is either very good or very bad
Was once at @theRCN conference where they spent a whole day arguing about procedure. At 525pm they got to Motion 1 & ran out of time
OOooh now someone keeps saying "plebiscite" instead of "referendum", I think with a subtext of, "The Treaty of VERSAILLES was BAD".
HUGE round of applause for the suggestion we shouldn't take peace in Europe for granted because it's only two generations old.
I really, really hope the vote on this ends up being 52/48. I don't even mind which way round.
DRAMA! There's been a request to suspend standing orders. Now there's to be a vote on whether to have a debate about the request
There's a lot of muttering and some distant shouting and everyone rustling paper as they try to work out what it actually means
Someone points out standing orders are already suspended, and then the motion is overwhelmingly defeated, and I don't know what words mean
OH WAIT IT WAS ONE OF THESEhttps://twitter.com/FinnTD/status/909368544755900416 …
"That is very clearly carried." OFFICIAL: AMENDMENT 1 IS VERY GOOD
I had to get someone to explain to me what happened. Basically it was a lengthy, agonising debate to keep policy exactly the same
Which, ironically, is also a good description of LibDem policy on Brexit
Now Jo Swinson is talking about an episode of Going Live with Philips Schofield broadcast 28 years ago
There was a competition in which you could win a piece of the Berlin Wall. But in September 1989 the wall was still standing. FAKE NEWS
Swinson just tried the "Is it more important children be considerate or well-behaved?" thing live. All but about two people went considerate
(If you've not heard this, it's supposedly an incredibly accurate predictor of how you voted on Brexit. Or Clinton/Trump come to that.)
Swinson says, "The world's problems will not all be solved by a speech at LibDem conference," which is disappointing
It's question time with Vince Cable! "If you were a businessperson from the north of England, would you prefer to fly from Schiphol?"
If you were a cat, what kind of cat would you be
Vince speaks warmly of expanding Gatwick. Man from Surrey says out the party is against it. "Well you're right to remind me of party policy"
Honestly guys an entire conversation about hub airports and high speed rail, did someone tell you it was my birthday?
Vince: HS2 will "effectively turn Birmingham into a kind of new... Croydon." Slight pause betrays awareness Brummies may not like this line.
TIL: LibDems like rail investment but not HS2, airport expansion but not Heathrow or Gatwick, point-to-point airports but not hubs
Tories have "walked away from business; I doubt many bus. people support Venezuealan socialism, in between is the space we have to occupy"
"We've heard businessmen like James Dyson say they're very pro Brexit, what would you say to them?" Muffled laughter fills the hall.
Vince: most fatuous idea about Brexit "is that it'll enable us to go round the world opening markets that are currently closed to us"


"Chlorinated chicken!" klaxon 


ngl, this isn't as fun as the morning session. Not enough funny grandstanding, too much actual content
"I'm from S.Cambridgeshire, where we're seeing a HUGE amount of housing development" - ooooooh a NIMBY! "How can we encourage SME builders?"
"Actually, they're much cheaper and faster." South Cambridgeshire Liberal Democrats, we salute you
