Lib Dem collapse in Cornwall is really staggering, it still hasn't sunk in yet, for decades the liberals/LibDems dominanted Cornwall and devon,
Labour was never taken seriously here..
former LibDem voters are flocking to Labour..
Would it not be more accurate to state that the Liberal voters at least in Cornwall are split in close to equal parts to the Conservatives and Labour. It was a Conservative gain from the Liberals that gave them a victory was it not?
Looking at all of the local results this year including the general local elections in May it seems that the voters are very conflicted, as the parties are very conflicted. Both major parties have deep divisions. The Liberals are just not a major force in the the actual general election. They are mainly a home for liberally leaning protest voters. Ukip remains primarily an anti EU force.
Generally the political world in the whole western world is in total flux. I maintain it has to do with the mass migrations of people. But the flux also involves many cultural and economic disagreements.
Most of you can guess what side I take in dealing with the flux. But taking sides is not the purpose of this post. The purpose is to point out the flux. It is probably going to take many years to resolve everything.
