8. Britain for a long time seemed to retain the nationwide bipartidism, though in recent years it has been increasingly restricted to England. One could dismiss a recent surge of LibDems as a "short-term"anomaly". Perhaps.
What the hell are you on about??!! If you were actually paying attention to British politics you would realise the Lib Dems are currently stuck in exactly the same place that they were pre-referendum which is also where they were at the last general election. Unless your definition of surge is 'more or less irrelevant' there has been no 'recent Lib Dem surge'. This could change but don't confuse what you want to happen with reality
