I still don't understand the whole "What happened to the Lib Dems?" talk. They've got the votes but the FPTP system is fucked.
Pretty much, I think some of us were foolishly expecting better. Unfortunately it's basically the same as ever - some predictable losses (Opik), some surprising losses, and the usual votes-seats divide.

This, they have only 5% less share than Labour yet over 100 less seats... what the hell
 
They didn't "Get the votes". They were on 29% level pegging with Labour in the polls. Now they're back at their 2005 22% level while Labour are on 27%. They don't deserve to be near them, FPTP or not.

The system was broken in 2005 and its broken now
 
I just don't understand any of this shit at all. Do people really hold such faith in right wing fiscal policy and free markets after the finance fiasco?

There really isnt as big a difference between Labour, Lib Dem and Conservative fiscal, monetary and market policy as you think.
