Lib Dems Slip Further Into Oblivion

The latest poll by YouGov for the Sunday Times has the Liberal Democrats at 12%, which is marginally better than their all time low rating of 11%. Mike over at Political Betting suggests this may have something to do with the BBC programme Five Days That Changed Britain.

I watched most of that programme and I definitely thought Clegg at least came out of it really bad. In fact I was screaming, "absolute s%$!*" at the TV on a number of occasions!

But with the Lib Dems continually sliding down the polls, it will be interesting to see how their vote goes in the Holyrood elections which are only 9 months away. If it keeps going the way it is, it will keep the Lib Dems out of single coalition partner territory.

It will also be interesting to see what effect it has on the result of the AV referendum which might be seen as a Lib Dem referendum. Is this at serious risk of being defeated and what impact will that have on the LibCon coalition?
