Good job for the Tories then that they can rely on tradition, ignorance, hefty donations for propaganda, a biased media, and those with no scruples to carry out irresponsible negative campaigning, or else they would be a minority party!

We know you have a very low opinion of the UK voters but one might think that if they were clever enough to know what policies they like, they would be clever enough to vote for the party that supports them.
Unless of course their view differs from your prejudices.

More interesting would be this piece written by Matt Chocqueel-Mangan (the founder of Vote for Policies) regarding the results of a opinion poll conducted by TNS on the preferred policies for Education and Health, conducted using the exact same data and format from Vote for Policies. TNS have the most preferred Health policies as; UKIP (28%), followed by Lib Dems (16%), Green (15%), Labour (14%) and Conservatives (11%) and the most preferred Education policies as being; Liberal Democrats (23%) just ahead of UKIP (21%), followed by Green (15%), Labour and Conservatives (10% each).

Which allows us to make two deductions.

Firstly, a comparison of the results of the TNS representative sample with the online self-selecting survey group, clearly shows the latter to have a significant pro Labour bias.

Secondly, on the basis of Education and Health policies, a lot more people should be a voting UKIP.

Most voters aren't interested in politics or policies but rhetoric and personality.

I know. Fantastic name ain't it? Either Chocqueel or Mangan on their own would be pretty impressive, but both together!

Mangan appears to be an Irish surname. I have no idea about Chocqueel. Interestingly there appears to be a Jonathan Chocqueel-Mangan who works at TNS. I think that might explain why TNS is involved in that little promotion exercise.:)

I suspect the 'better future for our children and free cake for everyone' party would also do rather well in such an experiment.

People are always going to agree when a party offers to give them more stuff.

System

The one that wins the general election.

No-one writes it, it's a poll.

Regarding the economy, why not learn something from the independent experts rather than Tory press drivel.

Less expected is that they use this evidence of economic failure also as an argument to vote Tory. David Cameron tells us: “Our economy is growing; growing at a rate that many other European countries frankly would give their eye teeth for.“ This is rather like saying in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.

the reason I would agree with the Labour cynics is that their policy is far too similar the Tory austerity one, although to be fair they haven't been as austere as they claim.
