When you've only 2 seats, applying statistical analysis is meaningless. It's like saying Greens have 100% female MPs.

Labour was down from 256 to 232 so ~10% reduction.

Something they really don't appear too bothered by, given their increase in vote share.

Originally posted by Zero Liability View PostAnd to be fair, they've lost seats, whilst UKIP has increased its vote share under Farage. In all likelihood, Clegg and Miliband would have faced a rather hostile environment within their parties post-election. Even during the election campaign, Miliband suffered a lot of internal attacks on his leadership and campaign, so I think it'd have been untenable for him to try and return as party leader following this GE.

That is pretty unusual - you do not see Labour or LibDems clamouring for their leaders to return.

Seems reasonable to me.

Originally posted by Zero Liability View PostThere was never any prospect of his 'demise'. Clegg and Miliband were under pressure to resign. Farage was and is under none and was going to stand in September anyway for party leadership. Those who voted on the premise of ousting him from the political scene miscalculated.
The biggest risk to the Tories is Eurosceptic voters defecting.
