My confidence is more in amazement that the Lib Dems polled 20% from a predicted 15%. Clearly they have momentum. Although really if the electorate are faced with crashing out of the EU, you have to question where they are realistically going to cast their vote in a general election whilst Corbyn is ambiguous?
Also I have no doubt that a significant percentage of leave voters did so on the promise there would be a deal (only an assumption of course). That being the case, if the Brexit Party offers only "No Deal", I can imagine the Lib Dems getting even some Brexiteer voter on their side come October - just in time for a Tory rebeliation if there is ever going to be one.
