The British electorate is dumd

There was recently a poll of the electorate to place the main parties and their leaders on a left-right political spectrum. It doesn't look like a good reflection of our understanding of politics.

They were asked to go from zero (very left-wing) to ten (very right-wing). They placed the Conservative Party at 6.9, and fucking UKIP at 6.6. Nick Clegg apparently lies at 5.1 with his party - the Liberal Democrats - at 4.9.

And - worst of all - Labour, Ed Miliband and the Green Party are all hovering around the same place at 4.1. Interestingly, Prince Charles is apparently at 5.9.

Fucking retarded.

Where would you place them, out of curiosity?

Tories aren't that far right. UKIP are further to the right than the Tories.

Greens should probably be further left than Labour.

No way Prince Charles is right-wing at all.

Weird, considering both Labour and the Tories are pretty central at the moment, with little variation left and right, respectively. Liberal Dem's are a hair's breadth on the left, UKIP are by far the most right leaning popular party atm and as for royalty and the Green Party I have no idea.

The image works better if you squash them all into the middle <_<

Well, I still think that UKIP may be better than the Republicans.

Just barely though.....

I'll say. The BNP isn't even on that chart. They're the only hope for a prosperous British future and the British Bullshitting Corporation is controlling the media in order to silence their voices.

I'm just going to point out that your faux-support for the BNP/Britain First was never funny.

Stop it.
