Laughing at the people celebrating the Tories' loss, while their own party languished in fourth place with a miserable 5% of the vote.

People vote tactically. The 10% of brexit votes and the 5% of labour votes were casted by people that wasted their time.

It's unbelievable.

Anyone understanding politics knows tactical voting takes place.
Labour hasn't done well in Brecon since early 70s.
They dropped one place further to 4th.
Never ever going to do well in this seat now.

Some Labour votes will have gone to Lib Dem re brexit.

Just to set the record straight, I wanted the Cons to hold this seat as I've said on this thread.
A majority of 1 or 2 or 3.in parliament is as tight as it gets anyway.

I think there will be a small number of Conservative MPs defecting to the Lib Dems anyway.

However deflecting from the Conservative loss here by getting a dig at a party again who could never likely do well in this seat. As Liam said earlier, not since the 70s has Labour been a runner here.

It is one the stronger Conservative and Lib Dem battles.
I never cared where Labour came in this seat.
The result signifies possibly a loss of upwards of 30+ Conservative seats to the Lib Dems.
Maybe that's the stronger point to consider.
