Automated Attack Monkeys, Scalpel Mines, & Acid

Becoming ever clearer how the whole party-getting-screwed thing is panning out. As always, it aten't because nobody's voting for us - BBC are mentioning an equivalent 16% vote share (which I presume excludes London mayor and assembly) which is in line with last year's elections and pretty respectable given that the polls have us on 8-10%. But the votes are migrating, as we knew they would, so we're losing seats in strongholds by the shedload and picking up votes in what are currently useless places. AV *might* have mitigated this trend, boundary changes will make it worse.

I almost think an actual wipe-out, such as Labour are pretending we're having, might be preferable - but in fact it's just another variation on dispersed support and not much to show for it, which is immensely frustrating.
