I fear the margin is too big. T Bliar did sound a bit "we must listen/learn" but I've heard a few labour MPs quite boyant about around 60 majority, record 3rd term and are taking it as a general vote of confidence. I think in a months time they will be the same again.

At least where I am we remain Lib Dem - more so in fact - Norman Lamb's majority was about 450 last time and now it's 10,000+. I've just heard him on the local news. He has pointed out that it is ridiculous that a party should have a good working majority with only 35% of the vote.
