The Lib Dems have always been the recipient of Tory protest votes. It's how they enable Labour governments. Makes sense they go back to Tories at some point, a lot of lib dem voters are liberal Tories

Probably small numbers from Lab and LibDem did switch to Reform but likely bigger shifts Con to Reform and LD and Lab to Con to keep Green out

This might suggest tactical voting against Green? Did Labour and LD voters see that the choice was between Conservative and an anti-Semitic party?
