  I think this validates everything I’ve been saying about those to, no?

  All it says, correctly, is that most people care more about sex than politics.

  Maybe.

  But they are handpicked for “interest” – even from the “most read” group.

  And they have those &^%%$$ popover ads that demand you click before you can read the piece. Bah.

  I wonder whether *politicians* care about sex more than politics? Perhaps it depends on (or tells us) how much sex they aren’t getting .

  And the Guardian Politics section only has 700k “unique users” from the UK, so these are not very big numbers.

  Should have added that most of the “most read” stories are under the “Politics” hierarchy on the website, which is why I have quoted those figures. That is an assumption.

  If the Lib Dems can get to the headlines only with sex, maybe you should talk more about sex.
