Yes it is ironic I agree; but this is a national emergency!!

I do admire the fact they were able to get the pacts done. It is somewhat ironic however that a party who passionately lobby for proportional representation made arrangements to win a "first past the post" vote when they would have been defeated by a combined total of pro Brexit parties.

A heartening result and I suspect a lot more "pacts" will occur to attempt to stop the brexit nonsense. Well done lib dems.

There is nothing in last night’s result that would cause any unbiased person to reach that conclusion. The actual result last night was
Lib Dem – 43%
Conservative – 39%
Brexit – 10%
Labour – 5%
Other – 3%
The Lib Dem’s won because they had a pact with the Green and Plaid Cymru parties both of which are pro remain and agreed to not stand to give Lib Dem’s a better chance. When someone complains about the fairness of reporting I do think if it is a principle it should be applied to all subjects.
