Lib Dem landslide

[abigailbrady]

There is an opinion poll in today's NME, of NME readers. It has the figures :

Lib Dems - 37%

Labour - 26%

Tories - 17%

Other - 9%

Undecided - 13%

If I plug these numbers into the BBC's handy thingy, we discover that this would result in a Liberal Democrat majority of 194 (with Labour having 196 seats, and the Tories none).

Which of the British political parties is the strongest one in the left, i.e. social democrat or democratic socialist?

[abigailb.livejournal.com]

The Lib Dems, although they've really inherited that position by default after Labour lurched to the right under Blair.

Cool, then it's good to see them in the lead!

I wish! This is just a poll of readers of one music magazine, which amused me.

Are you really sure that the lib dems are more to the left than labour? They're both a bunch of reactionary stooglets if you ask me.

the Lib Dems are more liberal, but still appear to be fairly right wing. It's just that they're less so than Labour or the Conservatives.
