And / or a couple of million remainers who took the opportunity to
have their say again?


but on the campaign options they would have voted for the LibDems, at

in areas where they had a chance of winning.


But as you say, no use in those places where they stood no chance.


well yes

but there was about 70 locations where it would

and they didn't come close in more than about 2 of them

I think that's sufficient proof that it didn't happen because the voter
wasn't motivated to do it.

But that didn't happen


Quite.

I mean, Zac even took Richmond back from them


Whoever he is.


Goldsmith

the guy that lost the self inflicted by-election over Heathrow (that turned
into a vote on his support for Brexit, in a 70% Remain area)


So, if Mrs May was pushing for a hard Brexit and Labour for something
less, isn't it possible people might vote for a part most likely to
spoil Conservatives control but not lead us further down the plughole?


but the Labour policy on Brexit is a mess. The LD's policy is the only one
that Remainers can vote for with certainty.
