Before anybody goes any further with the thought of if LibDem were wiped off the "left of centre" map, Labour may have more strength come elections....

Don't forget. When Thatcher was asked what her greatest achievement was, she said without hesitation, "New Labour."

Tell you what, despite being a Labour voter come what may in my earlier years, once I started seeing the world a bit more, running a business and then running public sector bodies, I (like to think) I have become more pragmatic. Hence I became a floating voter.

It's nice to be part of the 7% of voters that actually make and break Governments. Perhaps that's why I have more faith in democracy than some of our friends here.
