Why did the Lib-Dims lose council votes too?

[s2art]

Given the Lib-Dims should have benefited from all the publicity, why are they doing worse in local elections?

I'd guess the amnesty for illegal immigrants and wanting to join the Euro really didn't help them.

Yes the amnesty issue has come back to bite them.

More than likely all those councils with Lib Dems on them want rid.

They haven't been very good around here (York Central).

[JB!]

because they cant manage their way out of a wet paper bag, let alone a local council!

(local councillor is indie/cons in a lib dem council)

In answer to the OP's question...

I'd imagine because the people who usually vote for them, probably like most voters, didn't really have a clue what they were actually voting for. Having directly come from the horses mouth as time went on, they realised what was in store for them.

He may have come over really well in the debates, but as far as I'm concerned their policies stink like a rotten kipper.

Oh....and the media love a good story that can be bigged up ever 5 seconds by throwing a cat amongst the pigeons.

They fleece/buttfk/fkover/bugger the local populace.

Up this way, Lib-Dem were voted in in local elections to punish Labour. Now the General Election has been, the bds reverted to type and voted Labour.
