I don't see a spike for the Greens nor more than a very small handful of gains for the LibDems.
Liberal Green Social Democratic Party please.
The Lib Dems are weak due to poor leadership (Cable really isn’t up to it) and the stain of both Cameron and student fees, yet even so they are taking Labour council seats in recent by-elections. If they were to re-brand/merge as the rumoured new centre party with someone young, articulate and dynamic in charge (Layla Moran would be my choice) they’d likely do very well indeed. Add in people like Chuka Ummuna, Gina Miller, JK Rowling etc and I’d not bet against them winning an election.
I think it more accurately could be described as more closely matching the middle of the road, not that bothered by dogma or ideology, stance the British public has tended towards for generations.Ah-ha, I spy triangulation again...

Whatever it is your taking, I'd like some please!
TBH, it doesn't matter if he wins or not, the Milne / McDonnell New New New Labour project has achieved its aim of proving that there is an appetite for a more left-wing approach to politics and reducing the red-tory militant centrist presence in the party to nothing. Corbyn will be out in the next two years and it will be because he either b**loxed Brexit or loses the next GE.
The next leader will be cut from the same cloth but won't need the 'amiable uncle' facade.
I’d like to see any new party centre/expand on the Greens as a brand as it established globally and everyone knows it stands for a centre-left environmentally friendly approach. Just merge dumping the Lib Dem name but retaining the underlying infrastructure and allow the not-mentals of both Labour and Conservative to defect whilst dumping the archaic intransigent ideology of both.
We desperately need smething new as Labour and Conservative are well proven shite and have trashed the country between them. There has never been a better opportunity to build a new centre ground.
