Why are the Lib-Dems still stuck at 7-10% in the polls? Why are they not picking up the support of Conservative (and maybe also) Labor 'remainers.'?

This really pisses me off. Smiley

First past the post.

There are encouraging signs. They just had their best local election results for a decade, highest membership ever, and actually made money last year after spending the coalition years leaking money.  They normally poll 15-20% (before 2010). They've pissed off their base with the coalition, and Jeremy Corbyn has a Trump like effect on the British left/youth. He can do no wrong in their eyes. Half a million turned out last week to protest Brexit, most of them were Labour voters. Jeremy Corbyn supports a hard Tory brexit... but they refuse to believe anything negative about him.

But anyway, the good news for the Lib Dems, is that they are losing the toxicity of the coalition years, There is plenty of evidence to suggest that under the right circumstances we can get people to vote for us.
