An article for Central Bylines: Ed Davey and his Liberal Democrats march on Bournemouth


I've written an article for Central Bylines looking at the prospects for the Liberal Democrats as the new political season begins.

Despite the rather triumphalist headline, I've done my best to be objective.

  1. An interesting article, and I enjoyed reading it, but I am puzzled by the sentence "And it’s an odd fact that until recently Liberal Democrat candidates could pile up 20,000 votes in the Lincolnshire seats that now constitute Reform’s heartland." Did they really? I thought the fens and wolds of Lincolnshire were like the Gobi Desert when it comes to Liberal Democracy (which makes the recent improvements in the north of the county particularly gratifying.)

    1. And thanks for your comments! Gainsborough and Horncastle was another surprisingly good seat for the Liberals and Lib Dems.
