On the bright side they're taking more idiot and cunt votes from the right than the left (who are already split 3-5 ways).
If the next GE reflects this result (unlikely but it's fun to imagine) we could have a lefty coalition with its minority partners demanding voting reform with opposition Deformists support. Once fptp is dead we could all start voting for who we actually want!
More likely, I think, the Tories remain toxic, Deform makes noise but only 20-30% of the vote, LDs remember how to campaign and take ~10 seats. Labour remain unpopular but can also effectively campaign and win a small majority, and so voting reform remains off the table.
