Green surge: Liberal Democrats slump to fifth place

Two polls in two consecutive days now have the Greens ahead of the LibDems, with YouGov now putting Clegg in fifth place. Natalie Bennett’s party meanwhile rise from 7% to 8% this morning. The Staggers ask why the LibDems aren’t panicking, though Labour should also be watching the Green Surge with concern. It’s their votes the Greens are coming for…

For the Greens to be polling 8% with YouGov (which usually weights smaller parties down by a lot) is very impressive.

Considering the Greens vote base comes from younger voters, wondering if there's anyone on here tempted by them? Thoughts?

I'm so conflicted lmao, politically, they're closer to my values but I'm so right-wing when it comes to the environment that I just get fed up when they put an environmental context onto some issues where I don't think it's necessary.

Then again, it's become almost like a sadistic pleasure to watch the Lib Dems get crucified.

Glad to see a more even footing in the polls. A greater range of views is rarely a bad thing and one can only hope we get another chance to change the voting systems to something that's actually PR.

Saying this, I'm by no means a fan of the Greens.
