Northern Discomfort: An analysis of the Liberal Democrat performance in the 2017 General Election
Introduction Having spent months out campaigning, first for the County Council elections, and then the general election in 2017, I took a break afterwards by examining the election results! It is clear the Liberal Democrats made good progress in terms of seats: a 50% increase from 8 to 12 MPs compared to 2015; and, agonisingly, fewer than 500 votes away from doubling our seats to 16. (1) This was achieved, however, against a slightly lower vote share of 7.4%, compared to the already-low point of 7.9% in 2015, and an accompanying further decline in our vote in many seats.
