If my job was persuading the people of Britain that I should be trusted with the future of their country, the following chart would concern me more than a little.
Asked which party the statement : “It is led by people of real ability” applies to most, British voters give “None” a lead over all UK Parties combined of six points.
None: 45 vs Conservative: 20, Labour: 16, LibDem: 3.
In May last year, the political parties had a seventeen point lead.
None: 33 vs Conservative: 28, Labour: 19, LibDem: 4.
This isn’t a question of David, Ed or Nick, it’s something that every frontline politician should feel stung by.
Data is from here. (p2)
