If they perceived that the scetor tended to the left they may hide this because they had sympathies for the centre-right. They seem less bothered as a proportion in admitting their links with the Lib-Dems so it would support that hypothesis. Or that many of the other people didn’t want to admit their affiliations.

I've worked on the edges of the sector a lot, and in my experience, yes, some people in it tend to leftiness as an unthinking default. But another prominent strand in their outlook is a real anger with all the regulations and bureaucratic nonsenses that keep people from escaping the trap of poverty/going out to work/doing something green etc. They see the rough end of authoritarianism and how it impacts on people so frequently that it's no wonder a lot of them end up liberally minded.
