It isn’t easy being a Liberal Democrat. For decades the third wheel in British politics, the party was relegated to fourth place following its disastrous 2015 election result and the simultaneous rise of the Scottish National Party. But under Sir Ed Davey, the Lib Dems are enjoying something of a revival.
If the polls are correct, the party is set to pick up dozens of seats, many in London, the South-East and the South-West. One MRP survey even placed them above the Tories, meaning Sir Ed, interviewed in today’s Evening Standard, could be an unlikely leader of the Opposition.
