Nah, the SDP was the 80's version of what the Labour Right may do now (split off to form their own party, which will then merge with the Lib Dems)

Comically enough my mum wasn't savvy on politics at the time of the split and even this month I had to be like "uh, no, the SDP were the right wing of the party splitting off, not the left wing" after she heard me grumbling about Shirley Williams.

When she heard that she was basically like "glad I never learned more about her, then."

Oh my bad, sorry. Nevertheless, I bet that all BNPers ran to UKIP. Very insightful on my part.

e: So it went Labour > SDP > Lib Dems, right? I wonder why Lib Dems didn't catch more Labour defectors earlier, before the disastrous Tory-LibDems coalition?

Many, yeah, to the point where UKIP had to ban ex-BNP members from joining to stop bad press about it.

That ban consisted of going "Heil Hitler?" and if they didn't repeat it back then they passed.

The rest went into the wilderness for a bit and then formed the EDL and Britain First.

Of course the BNP is still going. In a hilarious fashion.

Reminder that the Lib Dems won 62 seats in 2005, an absolutely astounding return for a third party in a FPTP system, which of course meant that This Wasn't Good Enough and the knives came out very quickly afterwards. They also took 22% of the vote, compared to Blairs Labour taking 35.2% and Howards Tories taking 32.4% (355 and 198 seats respectively).

It would be a very interesting political landscape indeed if Clegg hadn't sold the party down the river and we had an actual third party opposition. Of those 62 seats I think only 11 were in Scotland so we could potentially have had a 100+ member bloc (SNP & Lib Dem, possibly Plaid/Green and some Northern Irish to give it a bit of flavour) acting as a third opposition if it wasn't for Nicks mad power grabbing strategy.

Oh well. At least we got an AV referendum out of it, and we all know how well referendums go!
