When ITV had decent political programmes. RIP This Week (Thames TV) and World in Action (Granada TV ) I and many others never watch ITV now.
I'm really struck by the good natured eloquence of the audience. They disagree and yet still manage to do so in a humorous and reasoned way.
Frank Bough was to head-up the programme!
ThamesTV u ROCK!!! Keep it coming! Any more on the trade unions?
Election was getting predicted every year during that parlt.
Didnt make much sense in the 80s and 90s and would have made even less sense in the 70s, when the liberals were more classic liberals than the social democrats they were later. In both 1987 and 1992 senior libdems even pleaded with their supporters to vote tory to keep labour out. (much to the chagrin of Dennis Skinner!)
My Grandad was an old liberal, and hell would have frozen over before he'd lend his vote to labour. Most in Norfolk/Suffolk, where he was from, were the same.
Two things to consider - You have to factor in the leadership of David Steel, who was very much on the left of his party and a social democrat. Secondly, the pact arose in the aftermath of the Jeremy Thorpe scandal and the Liberal's standing had taken a huge knock. A large part of their decision to form the Lib Lab Pact was self preservation - they wanted to delay an election for as long as possible to allow the dust to settle.
@@th8257 Yes, outside of the abortion issue, David Steel's most notable stand for freedom was his conscious choice to tolerate Cyril Smith's abuse of children.
Those hairstyles wtf
