The Liberal Democrats basically got the same amount of votes, so anything Labour or the Conservatives are doing or have done in government didn't directly benefit them. And nothing the Lib Dems have ever done since being formed has had much of a bearing on the two larger parties, including when they partnered with the Tories in the 2010 coalition - they just U-Turned and assisted the ...

The only people helping the smaller political parties to get more votes is the Liebour and Cons party in my opinion. Reform would not exist if we had governments that were true to their word, but again they are politicians so we should always expect the opposite of what they say in my opinion.

Apathy is so widespread that nobody seems to care that the First Past the Post system used in England allows the likes of Dawson to win ...

Great effort from reform only 500odd short of votes from a low turnout with the lib dem % down. Rosies comments after hearing ahe has won was :" i was  blown away" yes becauae ahe probably wad not too sure if she has won. Still fair play, she managed to drag hereself to stand outside the manor to remind voters who she was.
