The real story here is Labour's big drop off. Even in a safe Tory area you wouldn't expect them to drop 7% (which they lost to the Liberals and Independents). It shows how snookered they currently are. Liberals have a clear position on Brexit, as do UKIP but Labour are stuck between the two consistencies.
vote liberal by any chance ?
