This week, YouGov asked a representative sample of 1,000 British adults who they would vote for if the next General Election were held today.

Solidarity

This may come as a surprise to yinz but the poll isn't wrong. You did rise during a poll with a budget included. This is owed to your own activity how Government failed to respond, most particularly Labour. The biggest area which you lost out was really the Pirates beat you in the area of legislation. Other than that, decent position to be in as Official Opposition on a budget poll.

Labour

While you were helped out by the Unity merger and being Government during a budget period, you suffered in other areas. On the whole, you were one of the parties who had the least submissions for legislation. Also adding to the fact that you had MQs were certain SoS had 17.39% attendance. Or the low amount of MQs you party asked. You did decent on showing up to debate but that did not mask your shortcomings, especially in the criticism of the Budget.

Conservatives

Similar to Labour but with some differences. I am certain that this rise is far less than what you were expecting but on the whole this Government failed to respond to criticism in a sincere way. You did do better as you contributed a great deal of legislation, including the budget, showing up for MQs, and having far more members contribute, but this does not deflect from the criticism.

Liberal Democrats

I am sure this is less than what you might have wanted but perhaps more than you expected. You did decent this cycle, especially with some new members to the party, but your normal best does not beat out the budget and the fact that the Official Opposition does see the majority of spotlight in criticising a budget. Honestly not much to improve on but merely the luck of the draw with this poll.

Pirates

One of your largest rises this term and I am certain you are probably happy with this result. You really showed up this cycle, especially in comparison to some of your previous record this term. One particular benefit to your public perception was your use of motions to add further criticism for the Budget. You also benefit from being a smaller party so there is more room to grow. It's not as much as a rise that could have been due to circumstances but still very good.

Green Party

Similar to other parties, you did decent but you drew the short stick in being a non-Government or Official Opposition in a budget poll. Most of the focus was on them and you failed to reach beyond that limit. Still did decent, as shown through your nonetheless rise, but certainly lesser than what could have been. The largest criticism I would venture would be to increase debate quality.
