Two important patterns behind the Lib Dem local election results
As I analysed in some detail in the last Liberal Democrat Newswire, the Lib Dem performance in this year's local elections is a mirror of last year. Last year the headlines were poor (seat losses) but the details behind them promising (vote share up). This year the headlines were more than promising (seat and council gains) but the details behind them worrying (vote share down on last year and back down to 2011/12 levels*).
