Bizarre Electoral Love Triangle

Good, and perhaps important observation from John Underwood at Labour Uncut last week that, rather than we, the Lib Dems are now the primary target for the Tories. The Tories can win few seats from Labour, because we’re pretty much down to our strongholds anyway. 


But they are n
ow eyeing hungrily their coalition partners after the latter’s decimation in the local elections. And after that, too – thank heavens – pretty much the whole world agrees that where we need to get votes is from the Tories.

So, we have to win seats from the Tories, but they don’t have to win them from us.


It’s become a kind of bizarre, electoral love triangle.
