British Democracy Forum - View Single Post - Poll: 40% of Lib Dim Party supporters & 67% of voters think they are a protest vote

A Populus poll for today's Times (published at the start of the annual Conference of the europhile Liberal Dims in Brighton) suggests that two thirds of voters - including two fifths of Lib Dim Party supporters - think that "they (the Liberal 'Democrats') are basically a protest vote party and that their policies probably don’t really add up."

Brief extract from today's Times: "Linda Jack, a member of the party’s policy committee, joined the attack last night when she said that Sir Menzies had been “over-promoted”. She said: “Someone can be a brilliant man and have incredible intellectual powers and all the rest of it but if that does not translate into leadership skills then whoever your leader is you have got a problem with them.”
