So Michael Howard is standing down. And Cambridge has a new, Lib Dem MP. Two ups to a result which otherwise isn't quite enough. I wanted to see Blair's majority cut right back far enough to restore back bench (and yes, left wing) influence. I would have liked far more Lib Dems and fewer Tories. Where now? Nowhere I'm sanguine about, it seems.
