The Liberal Democrats have been left reeling by the collapse of their vote in the 2015 election, which has left them with just eight MPs in parliament. But within just a few days of the blow, something surprising started to happen — the party was experiencing one of the largest surges of support in years.
Around 8,000 people signed up to membership in the days after the election — amounting to a new member every 39 seconds, according to the party. Labour support is also on the rise, with 20,000 new members since election day. It may be that the new members are seeking to have a say in who the new party leaders will be now that Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg have stood down. But the increase in support in response to such a negative outcome for the parties may, in part, come down to psychology too. These new party members may well be experiencing voter regret.
