AND THOSE MOSTLY BELIEVERS IN THE FORCE:

Lib Dems slide in polls as troubles take their toll (JAMES KIRKUP, 1/24/06, The Scotsman)

THE sex and alcohol scandals that have beset the Liberal Democrats are starting to cost the party support among voters, a poll shows today.

Confirming the fears of Lib Dem insiders, an ICM survey for the Guardian gives the party 19 per cent of the vote, down 2 percentage points since last month.

Only in a nation that's 100% eccentric could they still garner that high a number.
