Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
Interesting analysis by Peter Barnes the BBC political analyst.

Our analysis indicates that both Conservative and Labour have lost ground heavily since last year's local elections when both were estimated to be on 35%.
This is only the second time that the projected national share has put Conservative and Labour below 30% - the last time we did so was in 2013 when UKIP secured a remarkable breakthrough in that year's local elections.
The Lib Dem performance represents a three-point increase on last year and is the party's highest projected share since the 2010 election, after which it entered the coalition with the Conservatives.
However, it is still below the performances that the party registered on a regular basis between 1993 and 2010, during which period the party's projected share never slipped below 24%.
Claims that this election represents the best Lib Dem performance ever thus needs treating with circumspection.
