You've listed them as having 52 votes with UKIP behind them, but on 55 votes. If they did come last, then it would only be fair to correctly represent that position in the list! It's as if UKIP have upstaged the LibDems in UK politics - see Nigel Farage's recent appearances on Newsnight and BBC Question Time, with no LibDem counterpart, as examples.

It's a start. Let's hope it will continue. Maybe the actions of this disaster we have, slashing without thought of consequences at the core of our national supporting structures, will trigger a few more memories of 18 years of Tory misrule. I am one of the lost generation and my own children are realising everything I predicted is coming true. I hope they don't become 'a lost generation' too. Good!!!
