The Lib Dems need to realise what their job is- it’s not to win the election, it’s to hold what they have so the Tories/Reform don’t until there’s a #hungparliament and PR.

@stopcamnmili.bsky.socialThe Lib Dems will remain in that niche until PR comes, which will only come via a #hungparliament and the route to that is holding the 70 seats they have. Can the party that picked eg Farron (12) & Swinson (11) be trusted to find anyone better to do that than the guy who won them in the first place?
@stopcamnmili.bsky.socialIf they get another majority they’ll either do nothing (as they always have up to this point) or we’ll have this 3 party solution for 5+ party politics.

@stopcamnmili.bsky.socialThey won’t do it unless the Commons maths compels them. That means voting for the PR parties in Labour’s micro-marginals (eg Chelsea) but voting tactically in seats they won more comfortably in 2024 (eg Carlisle).
