Lib-Dem Success

The Abingdon district councillors for the next four years are all Liberal Democrats (Lib-Dems).
Abingdon has bucked the trend towards voting Conservative. Why? I haven't got a clue.
Also in terms of proportional representation, the Conservatives had 40% of the vote but that translated into no councillors with our first past the post system.

HOORAY!
Are we excited? Yes, we are!
Slightly ironic given that traditionally the lib dems are the ones who usually suffer under first-past-the-post...
