According to everyone's favourite psephologist John Curtice, UKIP are down about by about 15%.

They've also lost every single seat they were defending. Every. Single. One.

This may mean that they'll be lucky to hit 8% of the vote on a map that went 22% UKIP in 2013.

Very little mention of the Lib Dem Fightback in this post.

It's unclear to me how Corbyn critics handle a Labour defeat where the Lib Dems collapse even further. If the answer is be right wing then we might as well just abolish political parties.

It's ironic that both UKIP and the Lib Dems have spent so much energy rubbishing Labour and proclaiming themselves 'the new opposition' when it's looking increasingly likely that Labour is going to be the only party bar the Tories that gets over 10% of the vote.

Curtice has the Lib Dems up 4% compared to 2013.

What's happening is that the UKIP-Tory swing is dwarfing all others.

a) Your maths is a little wonky.
b) Lib Dems got 13% in 2013. Most likely result is somewhere about CON 35 LAB 27 LD 17 UKIP 7

There's a seat in Argyll where only 3 candidates stood so they all got elected automatically.

I'm talking about the general election, where I believe most recent polls have the Lib Dems and UKIP on 10% or less.

I wonder if things might have been different if they focused their attacks on the government instead of Labour, or even tried coming up with policies of their own. A man can dream.

I'd like Labour to attack the government instead of the Lib Dems too. :shobon:

e: these local elections are weird; the Tories are making net gains but are losing council leaders.

Labour wasted at least one PPB going into the European elections in 2014 attacking the Lib Dems instead of the Tories or UKIP.

And then they threw hundreds of thousands of pounds into unseating Lib Dem MPs in the South West. Which went very well.

e: oh, I also forgot Labour lost their Shadow Chancellor because they pulled their campaigners out of a marginal to unseat Clegg, who was in a seat that Labour had finished third in every single election since 1983.

Your party was in government with the Conservatives. Your current leader didn't rule out doing the same.

Currently Tories have gained 138 seats and the first Metro Mayor (Bristol etc), Labour has lost 121 and UKIP have lost every seat so far. LD's are also lost 20 odd seats.

Expect Labour to go into melt down.
