How come the Libdems have gone DOWN in the polls since they declared their intention to cancel Brexit.?

Question

Where are their voters going?

Answer 1

Making the cancellation of Brexit an election policy really was a stupid move by Jo Swinson. Straight away she alienated around half of the electorate.

  But not the half of the electorate who would vote Lib Dem anyway.

Answer 2

It could be the same or different reasons that the Brexit party vote has also collapsed in the say time line.

NB:

May be people are turned off by a female leader (I do not think so), it could be because the worse PM the UK has ever had was a woman... Margaret Thatcher

Half the population voted Out, so they are not going to vote for them, and that woman in charge is dreadful. Shrill, over excited not leader material.

Answer 10

So-called 'protest' voters who support them at by-elections tend to go back to one of the main parties in General Elections. Also, several people on the remain side will have become resentful over how difficult the EU made reaching a withdrawal agreement that could work for the UK.

Whilst it is wonderful to have an actual Remain-supporting party, there will be a lot of collateral damage from the process of Remaining that will need to be repaired.  So there may even be a BRINO with the Lib Dems. 

They say they won't go into coalition with the Tories again and are ambiguous over what they might do with regard to the other parties.
