Even the LDs didn't deserve this, for all I know an avalanche of comments will disagree with me on that. The return of two party politics is not a great thing in many places I fear.

Can they even get to 10?

If so, then the LD vote was about as expected, it just didn't hold up in their incumbent seats any better than anywhere else.

Bye bye Vince....plenty of time now for those cozy chats on the BBC...

The Lib Dems certainly didn't deserve this. Hopefully, they can recover in opposition.

Which party polled 26%?

We had a referendum where we chosen that winners should take seats, so I hope you're not tallying the losers.

It's almost funny that in terms of values England and Wales are really not as far apart as our politicians pretend, but the voters on both sides seem to think we are so it doesn't even matter.
