It's just that Labour is the only reasonable other choice under FPTP.
There's also the fact that the LibDems have poisoned themselves.
I remember when I did Politics (very briefly) at AS-level, and our teacher was making such a huge thing about how the LibDems would always be runner-up to the Socialists and the Tories. How they'd never win an election, come second or even be a hung parliament.
Unfortunately, less than six months after I left the course, that's exactly what happened, so I never got to see his face when it happened.
Two and a half parties and all that.
I find it strange that your teacher kept saying the Lib Dems would always be a runner-up to these guys, though.
