Think you'll find that was the Mirror not The Sun. the latter being pro Tory. Think they've should have done one of the Two Eds with a coffin bearing the words "Labour's soul and purpose" for a bit of balance.

Interesting graph. Whilst I agree that the BNP are the most authoritian, are they really only just right of centre? More left wing than Labour and the Lib Dems?

Think I actually saw it on the front page of the Mirror. Maybe the Sun did do it but I'd be surprised. They are pro Tory and while they do still bash the Lib Dems even in coalition, they'd be unlikely to bash Cameron even on the NHS.

Good pic though. Couldn't find it on either paper's website but found it here for those who haven't seen.

awh bles, Mr. Long-Legged-Cleggy-Weggy's having a whale of a time.
A lot of people are writing off the Lib Dems at the next election, but to be honest I really don't think people should - because there are very few 3-way marginals. In these, I agree the Lib Dems are probably dead, but they're so small in number it's irrelevant.
The Lib Dems will be concentrating on:
1) Labour/Lib-Dem marginals - Tory supporters will be much more happy now to vote Lib Dem in these seats (than they were in 2010), so I don't think the LDs will be hurt.
2) Tory/Lib-Dem marginals - What other choice do Labour supporters have?!
Back to the question in hand though...... personally I fall into category 2. I'm absolutely not a Labour supporter, don't particularly support any party right now. However my hatred for the Tories surpasses even that for the Lib Dems that they are governing with, so I'd probably vote LD.

i think you'll find the word "economic" is missing from that. do wonder how how they determine the party positions, for example in order to enact Green policy you'd have to be very authoritatian. just legalising cannabis is not Libertarian if you're banning coal power stations and non-organic meat.

I'm not sure what you mean. But when I do the political compass test I normally come just right of centre and a little authoritarian. I reckon the graph above has pushed all parties too far to the right so I'd stand by my jusgement that I'm midway between LD's and Conservative

From the outside looking in -
Lib Dems - have pretty much committed political suicide... prepare to see their biggest collapse since Lloyd George
Conservatives - Everything the naysaysers said they would be.... Thatcherism by stealth (-ish)
Labour - completely unelectable with the team they've put together - need to go back to basics and bring back something new and palatable to the electorate
Me I wouldnt vote but would think Cameron would get a majority because although he is bad noone would take a risk on the equally bad other options. Its Thatcher versus Foot all over again.

All of the above
It's realy funny that you should say that as in our office we did a snap poll of what springs to mind when Milliband comes on TV/radio and "shut up you f***ing twat" won with nearly 41% of the vote!!!

Same. Reading through the UKIP manifesto, I tend to agree with many of their policies. Despite all the hype they may receive pre-election though, I'm not sure if they can really dent the popularity of Labour and Conservatives.
