Yes, but the LibDems frequently do a lot better at elections than national opinion polls might suggest.
This is partly because their success is based on effective local 'pavement-politics' campaigning and partly because, on the day, the LibDems end up picking up more of the 'Don't Knows' as a protest vote.
The poll proves what I have always said. Cameron and his ghastly crew of
de haut en bas silver-spooners do not 'click' with the electorate. Their so-called success is 100% down to Labour's bungling.
But I sense that the Great Unwashed are coming to terms with the peccadillos of their favourite party. If so it's bad news for Lord Snooty and his Chums.
