Tim Farron got in with a thumping great majority.
The way they were talking, I half expected the Conservatives to pip Tim at the post; in fact he was well on the way to getting twice as many votes.
We can look forward to him having an excellent influence on the way MPs in this area conduct themselves and hopefully having an influence in the way the next government, whoever they are, conducting themselves.
Sarah Teather also got in ahead of Dawn Butler. Pleased for Sarah but Dawn, I understand had also been a hard working MP too -Labour. They were fighting against each other because of boundary changes. Sarah has impressed me regularly on Question Time. She stood up for a guy in her constituency who was in effect kidnapped by British authorities and send to Guantanamo. She's someone to support and will make a great team with Tim and the financial guy and several others. Sad that Dawn Butler wasn't standing for us and then i would have been happy.
I rate people and their character ahead of their parties.
Now, the icing on the cake would be some really calm decisions being made before the announcement of who leads the country. Please take as much time as possible especially to get some sleep. (Naturally they'll be listening to my advice!)
Any results that stood out for you?
Who's really happy with a result?

I agree Tim is a honest hard worker with morality
Glad to see Labour lost Morecambe & Lunesdale. Just worried now that if LibDems go into coaltion with the Tories that the bumbling chancer that is Vince Cable may get anywhere near the Treasury.
Interested to read that you think that's posssible!
Thought they were poles apart.
I reckon Clegg will sit on the sidelines and cheer/jeer!
Reckon the best solution is to call another election. They are probably poles apart but when there's power to be had ethics,morals and principles will quickly vanish. Apologies to Vince - he's only one chancer amongst many!
