How many classic Lib Dem seats and targets voted Remain anyway?
St. Albans (mentioned elsewhere), Bath, Cheltenham, Lewes, Oxford West, Winchester, Cambridge, Harrogate, Richmond, Twickenham, Kingston, Guildford, Hazel Grove, Cheadle?
Many more. Of course, we do not have constituency data, but we can conjecture on the basis of what we have. Actually, of the currently-held seats, of which 7 are in England/Wales, it would seem that in, at least 5 Remain either won or was very close (Westmorland and Lonsdale, Sheffield Hallam, Leeds NW, Southport and Ceredigion - and, of course, Orkney and Shetland as well, but that is abroad now). Carshallton and Wallington may have gone to Leave, but with a margin similar to the national one. North Norfolk, it seems, is the only clearly Leave seat they currently hold - though Norwich itself voted to Remain.
I'm pretty sure Southport would be more Leave than the bits of Sefton which are really a northern extension of Liverpool, so would question that one.
