11. No, this is bad

The Tories are going home. This is terrible. Also the population as a whole has realised too soon that the Liberal Democrats are well to the left of New Labour. LibDems can only replace the Labour party, whilst the Labour party moves right and the conservatives disappear. Any thing else won't work. The LibDem challenge was against the Tories and failed, but they took some Labour seats.

this is the sort of thing that can happen when a country has an aware populace, decent media, and fair voting.

The US is pretty much 0-3 on that count.

Congratulations UK DUers. :toast:
