The LibDems have done well, with all contenders rolling out predictable excuses and rationale.
Mid term elecions are an opportunity for voters to give the current government a kicking. The surprise is not just that the Tories lost - they were always going to lose votes with a low turnout - but that Labour also tanked.
Will it make Boris more insecure as PM - possibly. Will it bring forward a general election - unlikely. Will the Libdems hold the seat at the next election - probably not. Does it give Labour hope for future electoral success - no.
