UK historical voting intention chart [Large image]
 

so what lessons can we learn.. lib dems are worthless, and we can just expect a constant oscillation between labour and conservative. how depressing.

ed miliband will NEVER be PM
he's a wet fish.

If he's the best labour can come up with, then david cameron has nothing to worry about.

I'd like to know what is meant by "vote intention". Is this from people who have been canvassed? If yes, it might mean that only around 2-3% of the population have been canvassed, maybe even less. Or is it from information gained at polling stations? And does it relate to general elections? City/county elections? District elections? European elections? All of them?

Which do the coloured lines represent?

The three main political parties and their traditional colours.

Red is Labour, blue is Conservative and the orange is Lib Dem.

The Lib Dems will hopefully likely be almost off the chart at the very bottom by the time of the next election.

Interesting chart though,I have seen a lot like it.

I thought it was this because I worked it out at the ~2008 point but idk much so I thought I best be sure lmao

The data is apparently taken from here
