Exclusive: Lib Dem leader bullish ahead of party conference despite static poll ratings and MPs’ frustrations

But Davey also urged his party not to panic at static polling numbers, arguing that with tactical voting and fragmented political loyalties, he fully expects the party to do even better at the next election than in 2024, when it won 72 seats, the highest total for a century.
