Why does increased liberalism in society NOT lead to election wins for socially liberal parties?

I am fortunate that every time I wander back towards LinkedIn something quickly reminds me why I dislike it so much.
In the space of 5 posts - "we have 17 spaces" - "17 reasons to..." - "Just £17..."
Should be about 17 weeks before I go back again.

I passed our local Polling Station 4 times today - it was busier than I've ever seen it. *insert sweeping generalisation about the kind of people I saw there*
Facebook is overflowing with Reformers this week.

The idea that Trump negotiates peace is ridiculous. He negotiates surrenders...
Middle East - forcibly remove everyone, level the country & I'll build on it.
