    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.

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

    13% and one seat is a disappointing day for democracy. I wouldn't be surprised if even with 20% they only got 1.

    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.
