Labour got 7,000 votes in Bath in 2017. Their vote has increased there at both the last two elections, as Labour has re-positioned itself as the party of the middle classes.

TM - how individual constituencies/regions/countries voted is irrelevant. It was a UK, non party political vote.
The people of NE Somerset seem to grasp that. It's not hard.. |

It's been a Tory/Lib-Dem City for as long as I can remember, Chris Patton, Don Foster iirc -

Thanks Injera - I just have trouble reconciling the man of the people image with the massive tax avoidance.

The current Bath MP is a LibDem - a German lady named Wera Hobhouse (born Wera von Reden). She'd previously been a Conservative councillor. She actually ran against Rees Mogg in NE Somerset (her home constituency) in 2015, but got beaten out of sight.
Her husband is one of the Hobhouse family, whose estate seems to consist of most of Somerset north-east of Wincanton. Twenty years ago one of them, living at Hadspen, owned a boxer dog, which they refused point-blank to keep under control. It all but killed my two teenage dogs on one occasion, and they could hardly bring themselves to acknowledge the fact, never mind apologize. That was the last time I ever voted Lib Dem, so I'd like to think I've had a role to play in the party's subsequent demise. |

Sorry to hear about your dogs.
I think taking the hit for the Tories trebling tuition fees was the end of the Lib Dems in my neck of the woods. |

I think it was simply the way they facilitated a Conservative government in the first place which saw the Lib Dems crash so spectacularly in my constituency (Taunton Deane). The Tory vote only increased by 3,000 in 2015, but the Lib Dems fell by a staggering 16,000: to Labour, UKIP, Greens and various independents. Basically to everyone except the Conservatives.

I just found it odd - the Lib Dems just seemed to take the hit for everything. To be fair nobody was more surprised than David Cameron - hence the current farce. Kind of funny really -
Lib Dems promise not to raise tuition fees - thinking no chance they would ever be in a position to have to keep the promise. Cameron - promises EU referendum thinking no way he would ever have to deliver on his promise. |
