Pink poll backs Ming

From The Independent and Ming Campbell’s website comes the news that Ming wins amongst readers of PinkNews when polled against Brown and Cameron. From Ming’s site:

Given the choice of Prime Minister between Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Ming Campbell, 40% of those readers surveyed chose Ming. David Cameron and Gordon Brown trailed on 33% and 27% respectively. In the same poll, only 13% of respondents supported Gordon Brown for the Labour leadership.

Asked how they would vote in a general election, 35% said Labour and 27% said Liberal Democrat, with the Conservatives in third on 26%.

    Great news. Let’s hope that the “gay gene” spreads rapidly.

    The reason is obvious. The LibDems is the party for the gays. It’s their comfort zone. They are every where

    The Lib Dems can’t even win the gay vote! I can’t stop laughing! And only one point above the Tories too.

    It’s probably just a big misunderstanding; not difficult to see how it might have happened.

    “Lib Dems – the party coming up from behind.”

    You fail to mention that the very same poll puts Cameron ahead amongst the under 18s – i.e. tomorrow’s voters.

    The poll, for the over 18s which put Ming ahead, was conducted at 6am outside of the Fire nightclub and everyone was either on Charlie, Tina or K (or all three!)

    That said, Ming was genuinely ahead at the Elephant’s Graveyard, sorry the City of Quebec, and they thought he was a “nice young man”. The poll was conducted shortly before they all nodded off for an afternoon nap at 3pm on Thursday, May 3rd.

    I’m gay and sure as sh*t not a LibbyDem! I think it’s a slur on the ‘gay community’ to even suggest that the LibbyDems are ‘our’ most popular party! No more of this nonsense- please! If anything, the LDems have done most to damage the ‘gay image’ in the media. Need i raise a certain MP for Winchester…. And i’m sure there was a ’scandal’ story going around up here in Scotland a few years ago that an MSP and a researcher were caught ‘at it’ on video by security cameras in the Parly. It was all hushed up. We fortuantly did not get a ‘blow by blow’ account. Wouldn’t surprise me if the MSP concerned was one of your lot!
