Here' s what people think party leaders would do on their night off

Evan Bartlett (@ev_bartlettMar 17, 2015 #mildlyinappropriatebanter The latest polling report from Lord Ashcroft shows that while the Conservatives have dipped to 31 per cent, they are still ahead of Labour who are on 29 per cent. Perhaps more interestingly, the pollster also asked some focus groups what they thought the leaders of each political party would do if they were lucky enough to find themselves with a Friday night off. The results give some interesting insight into how each political leader is viewed:

David Cameron

The prime minister would "'get a helicopter to Cornwall' with Sam and the kids... or go 'to his club' to engage in 'mildly inappropriate banter with Conservative MPs and eight bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon'".

Ed Miliband

"If he did not have a 'posh dinner party' planned, would be playing with the train set some suspect he has in his loft, or spend the time 'reading the opinion polls for something to grab onto'."

Nick Clegg

"The 'family man' would take his wife and children ten-pin bowling, or stay in with them to watch [Great British] Bake Off."

Nigel Farage

The Ukip leader would "inevitably go to the pub, possibly after a spot of fishing, or, for the cynics, “to a French restaurant with his German wife to complain about immigration”. You can see the full results of the poll hereKeep reading...Show less
