The news continues to get worse for the Liberal Democrats the junior partner in the CON DEM coalition Government.

A survey conducted by Sky News discovered that 43% of those asked would back the Conservatives if an election was held today, but just 8% would vote Lib Dem, while 24% said they would vote for Labour.

A poll from polling organisation ComRes found that more than 33% of voters who supported the Liberal Democrats at the election have abandoned the party. I am one of the abandonees.

It has managed to hold on to 63% of its voters (quite a feat given the circumstances), compared with the 92% of Labour voters and 94% of Conservatives who have remained loyal. The proportion of 18-24 year olds supporting the Lib Dems has fallen in each polls since the election and now stands at 26%.

Polls also showed my own personal view is one shared by many that the Liberal Democrats sold out to go into coalition with the Conservatives.

However I still find it amazing, disappointing, and feel betrayed by the Liberal Democrats having voted for them for the first time during the recent UK elections. The last thing I wanted or believed that the UK needed was a Conservative Government and they allowed the UK to end up with exactly that.
