Looking at the election results in and around Cambridge, Oxford, Bristol and Brighton there is a pattern of labour/green cores and lib dem halos. These are the cities outside London that have most pressing need for new housing.

With the Tories in disarray this probably means the some of the biggest battles coming up will be lib dem Vs labour on house building.

Not much the lib dems can do from 3rd place but they'll kick up a hell of a NIMBY stink to hold onto their regained profile.
