Will the Liberal Democrat boom go bust?

In episode #9, Stephen Tall and Mark Pick pick over the European election results and what comes next for the Lib Dems. Can the party sustain its May run of successes? Show notes Kieran Pedley co-hosts the Polling Matters podcast, which you can find here. Examples 1, 2 and 3 of how the media missed the story of the Lib Dem surge. Details of Lord Ashcroft's polling. Tim Bale points out that the referendum theory Stephen mentioned doesn't really hold water. Phil Cowley writes and edits great books, and here is his tweet we mentioned. And... ignore my garbled reference to the 1992 general election. The comparison that can be done in different ways is between 1987 and 1992, not 1992 and 1997.
