How does this compare with previous results? It is a shame the Lib Dims beat us. I still find it very insulting, they have got to be the most pathetic political party in existence! Why are they still the third largest? We need action! :)

Not an unusual result unfortunately. The Lib Dums are, indeed, a thoroughly pointless and pathetic party but who else would the hand wringing EU-loving liberals vote for?

Of course, there's the Scottish element to the Lib Dems' success as well. The handful of Brit-Scots remaining north of the border who want to vote against Labour don't have any choice really.
