Kudos to YouGov for coming up with the most outrageously crow-barred poll finding to mark Valentine’s Day – that Lib Dem voters are least likely to think that penis size matters.
The findings are not surprising. After all, we’ve always wanted proportional representation. We’ve always been wary of sudden swings to the left or right. And throughout the Coalition, Lib Dems have argued it’s not the size of our parliamentary party that matters, but what we do with our honourable members. We must now gird our loins, though, for the coming campaign. Our poll ratings may be flaccid, but never underestimate the power of a late, liberal surge. And if the next parliament is well-hung we probably won’t be complaining. [That’s enough single entendres – Ed.]

It must mean something that LDs are most likely to be uncertain, and UKIP least likely.
I’m surprised Lib Dems don’t think size matters considering they’ve lost so many members!
Tall stories to divert people away from discussing Wythenshawe or the repeated failures of Clegg and his coterie.
Ed, it’s easy to be certain when you’ve got no experience š
Is this orthogonally related to the science fiction thread from a week or two ago?
Am guessing some of our Peers might find this funny.
Would like to see a breakdown by gender as well. Are Lib Dem women bothered?
@ John Tilley,
Do get a sense of humour, there’s a good chap. As a long term Liberal Democrat, you ought to be the first to understand that we need a good laugh from time to time.
At least, I assume that that’s the general thrust of this piece… š
@Mary Reid:
“Are Lib Dem women bothered?”
By whom š
predictably perhaps, lib-dem’s are the most likely to vacillate of the importance of their tumescence.
or intelligent enough to have a sense of proportion..
So, if you want the biggest cock-up, ask a Tory!
If this article is to be believed, we need to “carefully” examine all our male candidates in Tory leaning areas.
