Do the polls really show that a majority of Lib Dem members now support labour? I find that very hard to believe.

They lost seats in the recent local elections to both other parties especially Labour (they lost about 750 local councilors in total) and they did piss poor in the Scottish election losing every district they had (they still have seats cause they use the mixed member system) and fell to 4th place behind DJ’s distant cousin’s Tories. (you may have heard DJ, she’s stepping down as Leader).

The last time they got under 10% in a Westminster election was 1970 (as the Liberal Party more than a decade before the alliance with with the brakeaway faction of Labour). They won 6 seats that year.

If the election were held today they’d be decimated.
