One question that i'm gonna stuggle to answer until we get to 2015 is who still is a Liberal Democrat voter?

It was always students, West Country-ers and yes, academics and urban professionals. (Basically, (except for the West Country) people who were left-wing, but didn't wish to be seen as voting for a 'workers' party)

Who are the remaining 10% who're voting Liberal?

The LDs are still polling at 10% ? Wow.

Well, it's hit-and-miss really...

In the age of New Labour I very much doubt any left-winger was voting Liberal because Labour were seen as the workers party.

1997-2007, sure.
