The General Election results are tough for all Lib Dems to read, the loss of some wonderful MPs including the brave and inspiring Jo Swinson will be difficult to move on from for a while. But from the dark days we need to remember why we tried. Our liberal values aren't diminished by the fact that we lost.
There was a little good news locally in Bromley, we managed to double our vote share across all 3.5 constituencies (Lewisham West & Penge is only partly in the Bromley borough). Here is a summary of the results:
