    So that’s one third of Lib Dem vote going to Labour in what is generally a good part of the world for us. Is anyone in Parliament listening?

  • What are you talking about?
    LibDem +11.8% since June 2009.

  • What an interesting result that was in 2009 – the Tories with about half the vote, and the remainder split between UKIP, LD, Lab and Green, all within 5-6 points of one another.

    “What are you talking about?”

    Apologies, Colin, I saw a minus where there was a plus. Combination of the font being a bit strange and my tired eyes.. Well done Norfolk.
