The Liberal Democrats are heading for their best election result since
1923 as they begin their final push to ensure gains from both Labour
and the Tories.
Charles Kennedy is on course to gain a clutch of Labour-held seats and
to match the record share of the vote gained during the heyday of the
SDP-Liberal Alliance in 1983. Liberal Democrat strategists said
yesterday national polls were underestimating the gains they were
making, particularly in marginal seats.
