Can't see a Lib Dem thread on here, but have noticed they've been claiming they have pledged a British return to EU in next general election (or stop us leaving if an election before A50) http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jun/26/li...

A great vote winner imho.

Also #mysticclegg has been trending after he wrote this before the referendum https://inews.co.uk/opinion/comment/will-wake-vote...

Is this the start of them regaining some traction in the political world?

It's very clever. There's 16m voters at least who are in favour of a re-run, loads of disgruntled young voters ( who may now forgive the tuition fee betrayal ) and of course labour is too busy annihiliating itself to do what the LibDems have done.

If Labour don't sort there sh*t out and if there's an election within 6m I could see them pulling off the biggest political comeback in modern times.
Agreed. The EU trumps most things for a lot of us it seems.

It looks like a GE is on the cards for the Autumn unless I am mistaken. This is a very clever move by the LD.

I cant see Boris being next leader, too many dislike him & he's demonstrated zero leadership since he contributed to the havoc

The alternative candidate will be a remain supporter. They will go to the country for authority to press the self destruct button, which they wont get.
Most likely outcome will be a Conservative LD coalition, LDs price being no Brexit.
Which the cons will happily agree with

I haven't seen the numbers, but I'd bet on it being that the Lib Dem numbers held whilst the big two collapsed, rather than a surge in votes for the Lib Dems.
Errr..

Maybe look at the numbers
