I think 1994 was the occasion on which the BBC kept confusing the viewers (and irritating the party spokespeople in the studio) by comparing the vote share changes and swings with the general election results of 1992, instead of the previous European Parliament election of 1989. I remember Charles Kennedy saying "you have to compare apples with apples" at least once, possibly twice.

The 1994 Euros were always going to be a disaster for the Conservatives, but it could have been worse. There were numerous seats we clung onto only by the skin of our teeth, in part due to the Literal Democrat intervention.

Earlier coverage of the 1994 Euro results: Confusion about how they calculated the swing started at 31:44 onwards; Charles Kennedy complaining at at 53:43 and John Redwood at 54:50.

1989 Euro election programme: It's really strange to hear the Lib Dems consistently referred to as "the Democrats". Nice to see a Green on the politicians panel, though.

1989 Euro election programme: It's really strange to hear the Lib Dems consistently referred to as "the Democrats". Nice to see a Green on the politicians panel, though. When the Liberal Party merged with the SDP, the name of the new party was the Social & Liberal Democrats, and they specified that it should be called "The Democrats" for short. It worked briefly (as in this clip) but after a short while, everybody in the media started calling it the SLD. Thus at the party conference in Autumn 1989 they decided to lengthen the abbreviation to "Lib[eral] Dem[ocrat]s" instead. I would have preferred it if they had stuck with "Democrats". There was a lot of discussion at the time of the merger about the name of the merged party. One early suggestion was "Democratic Union of Liberals and Social Democrats" until somebody pointed out that the acronym would be DULSODS. That results programme on the Sunday night was an improvement on the reports on Thursday evening. The discussion programme used graphics which only had the three "main" parties, plus "Others" in grey. Thus the large votes for Green candidates were consistently put in the grey column, even with 15 or 20% of the votes. Whoever designed the graphic had obviously never even considered that there might be considerable numbers of votes for the Green Party. I think that the Green Party had been drifting up in the opinion polls to about 5%, but it wasn't until the exit poll put them at 14% that it was clear there had been a breakthrough. Again, on the Thursday night there wasn't even a Green in the studio, although the BBC did manage to get a comment from a Green Party spokesperson that they were "cautiously ecstatic".

Regrettably I don't have the main programme. This is the pre-show on Newsnight.

There's an interesting item about the Western Isles at c. 32 minutes - innovating with an extra effort to use helicopters to gather in the votes, where hitherto boats had been used.

Anybody found the 2018 local elections coverage for BBC or Sky online? I've found BBC before 6am (most of which I'd already watched) but apart from that just scattered clips.
