Why let the facts get in the way of an opportunity to bash the Lib Dems?
It’s still a really crappy figure for the yellow people!
16% – would you win any seats with that?
1997 Gordon, we doubled our number of seats on 16% of the vote.
You know, I’d have just let it pass…
Well it makes a change from Lib Dems printing spurrious graphs on focus newsletters claiming it is a two horse race.
I didn’t realise it was “spurious” to show you’re in first or second place when both the other parties like to tell people “the Lib Dems can’t win here” rather than challenging our policies.
Have you seen the bar charts Labour use when they are in third – showing the total number of MPs in Parliament and claiming therefore the race in that constituency is a two horse race? Now *that’s *a spurious graph.
