Whoever becomes Liberal Democrat leader, they will have a big mountain to climb for public recognition

Another reminder of how little attention most people pay to politics courtesy of this new YouGov polling:

Whoever wins the Lib Dem leadership race, there’s a big job ahead of them to secure the sort of public recognition that lives up to our current political potential.

One response to “Whoever becomes Liberal Democrat leader, they will have a big mountain to climb for public recognition”

1. Not always a disadvantage. Nick Clegg benefited in 2010 precisely from hardly anyone having heard from him, so he was a fresh face and voice, rather than a leader of familiar flaws. Also with the party getting more attention than it has for a while, the result will attract some interest and get the new leader a bit better-known (especially if the less-well-known underdog wins).

   These are Lib Dem voters from when? The last general election or the last time they voted (e.g. the Euros)?
