Another diagram showing the fortunes of the Lib Dems - I had another go to see if I could show more of what's going on.

Again, the position in the diagram (and the percentages) indicate the share of major party vote that each party gets, and the pie charts indicate the proportion of seats that each gets.

Looking at those polls, the Lib Dems had better hope that Clegg is going to completely turn around the fortunes of the party, or they are facing total irrelevance, which is a long way from the bright hopes entertained after the 2005 elections.

Well my model predicts that if people voted as they did in 2001 then the LDs would have 37 MPs, but in the event they had 52 seats, so I'm starting to think my model needs work.

This has been done before - where is it being written up?
