There’s always been a small anti-EU faction in the Lib Dems, but you would have expected someone who goes as far as joining a political party to be aware of its stance on the biggest political issue of the day.

One interesting result this week from Bridlington in a constituency that had a 64% Leave vote. The Lib Dems, who hadn't stood in the ward for the last twelve years, won the seat comfortably. The Tory vote collapsed from over 70% to just 27% while Labour's vote fell from 30% (in a two-way fight) to under 5%, leaving them behind UKIP.


Yes, what I would call VERY interesting, in the same way the usual predictable Tory stranglehold in the local elections here was interesting - disgruntled Brexiters ignoring the two main parties, and disgruntled Remainers...also ignoring the two main parties.

Funny ol' world.

...and also be aware that running local government has zero to do with Brexit (except inasmuch as it affects local jobs badly, affects gov subsidies negatively and other issues that they have no control over, they only have control over how to tackle the results of it)
