I'm wondering if the LibDems are now being perceived as the party of the left when compared with Labour and the Tories.

I'd certainly hope so - that's what we *are*.

Compared to NuLab, Oswald Mosley's "I was a man of the Left" speech doesn't sound so ridiculous

I don't know what makes me happier - a good kicking for NuLab, or the indication that the recent leadership infighting doesn't seem to have done much damage.

well, delicious as the result is, we can't put *too* much into a bye-election result, I suppose.

nevertheless, I'm particularly enjoying the fact that Gordon Brown is now represented by a LibDem :)
