Lib Dems eclipse Labour on campus

The electoral dominance of the Labour Party on campuses in the UK is set to come to an end on 05 May 2005 as a result of a growth in support from the Liberal Democrats amongst academics and students. Polls reveal that while Labour could count on about 65% of academics voting for them in 2001, the party can now only count on 41% of the academic vote, whereas the Liberals have seen their share of the academic vote grow to 44% from 22%.
