The Guardian has ditched Labour and is supporting the LIb Dems.... wow.

This all feels fairly significant.  What with the UK usually described as a 2.5 party system.  Have the Liberal democrats ever actually overtaken one of the big 2 or even been close?

The BBC just put up election results for the last 65 years.

It's really only in the last decade or two that anybody cared about the Liberal Democrats. Power has always shifted from Labour to Conservative and back, generally with both in the 40s or high 30s (popular vote) at the lowest.
