'Lib Dems to have bad night'
As the results showing the Liberal Democrat share of the vote plummeting, a party’s spokesperson said the Lib Dems are going to have a bad night.
The spokesperson told journalists gathered at leader Nick Clegg’s constituency count in Sheffield: “I’m not going to pretend that the Liberal Democrats are going to have anything other than a bad night.”
Liberal Democrats believed throughout the general election campaign that they would do better than the polls predicted. Clegg even took a step further claiming that his party would be the “surprise story”.
It seems the party would have the worse election night since it was formed in 1988. Now Clegg’s future is already being questioned.
Earlier, the party rejected a TV exit poll which predicted it would face huge losses and retain only 10 of its 56 seats, saying it did not correspond to information the Lib Dems had gathered from activists. But the mood was worsening as the results gathered pace.
