Who would make the best Prime Minister?

Obviously a lot of people would choose 'other' but I'm going to go for a 'best of all evils' approach and list the leaders of the three main parties. Very similar to a recent poll released, but I won't announce those figures here so it won't skew the vote!

Can't vote, as my preferred option would be 'other'.

They should really attach a label to him, like Paddington Bear.

The idea is you pick somebody who has a chance of being in, so your 'preferred' one of a bad bunch as you appear to think of them as.

You don't do many yougov polls it seems?

I prefer dealing with facts, and polls that actually prove something.

For one thing not having another option completely ignores the views of anyone who might vote Green for instance, or for another marginal party, so skews the findings.

If you think we'll have a green PM in 2010 then you're a bit mad! It's a poll to see who people think is the best of the main candidates. Nick Cleggs only in on the basis he might be in a coalition.

Yougov accurately predicted the London Mayor elections too btw.

Just as you might be considered a bit mad if you think the three candidates you gave us will be there in 2010.
