I finally realized something. Maybe the Lib Dems didn’t have a geographic or demographic base; maybe they were a product of a psychological base. I put together a pilot study and found that Lib Dems tended to score higher on “openness” and lower on “agreeableness” than Labour or Tory voters. I realized that these Lib Dems tended to be, like me, open, curious, eccentric, stubborn, and a bit bitchy at times.
