Also what is your policy on sandals?

“The British have embraced the Liberal Democrats, lampooned not so long ago as gently eccentric granola-eaters and sandal-wearers.”

Still not decided whom I'm voting for, but *possibly* :-).

I have sandals and I have socks, but not at the same time.

I do, however, wear sandals and ankle length skirts.

Though not on a daily basis, generally I have toast for breakfast, not granola.
My sandal policy is that they are more comfortable with socks, damn it, stop hassling me about it.

I am morally opposed to sandals personally, but I don't judge other people for their sandal-wearing choices.

I prefer porridge. But I do have sandals and wear them for preference.

I don't own any sandals, I don't care much for granola; but I do have a suitably Lib Dem beard and a fondness for real ale if that's any good.

I thought I'd defected to the Greens, but I appear to have temporarily refected...

I might have been tempted if my local (Green) candidate was literate... :-S

Well I tried to persuade ewx to just make it Liberal so that it would include all of us woolly lefties, but apparently the cliche doesn't extend as far as greens.

[lethargic-man.livejournal.com]

I had been going to suggest adding "granola-eating non-liberal democrat" and "non-granola-eating non-liberal democrat" just to confuse things...

[lethargic-man.livejournal.com]

To think I've come to the point of having to look up the definition of granola to know my political preference!

I'm glad I wasn't alone in my ignorance.

[antinomy.livejournal.com]

or as a caller to radio 2 the other day had it 'cycling vegetarians'...

[hoiho.livejournal.com]

Actually, I'm an SNP-voting Liberal.

I *like* granola, but it's a bit sugary for everyday breakfast cereal.

I'm vegetarian, normally dressed with extremely cavalier disregard for fashion norms, generally interested in environmental issues and definitely eccentric. But am also a sceptic, don't have a large commitment to reflecting environmental issues in my diet, and don't especially fit into the hippie community better than anywhere else.

I'm broadly in favour of the majority of the things the libdems do, and will probably vote for them, but don't identify as libdem.

So, um, I suppose what I'm trying to say is where's the "hate with the fiery passion of a thousand suns because it killed my parents, you insensitive clod" option? :)
