Tory voters are most enthusiastic

There's a fun little question over on PoliticsHome I haven't seen before. They've asked each party's voters how enthusiastic they are about their choice.

Conservative voters are by far the most enthusiastic, 47% say they are very enthusiastic about their choice, with a further 32% quite enthusiastic. Labour's remaining voters are less enthusiastic - only 34% are very enthusiastic, with 31% quite enthusiastic. So most of the Tory vote isn't holding its nose and forcing itself to vote Tory, it seem pretty happy about it.

Perhaps surprisingly, Liberal Democrat voters are least enthusiastic - only 24% are very enthusiastic, and 11% are "actively depressed but can't see a better option" (the comparative numbers for Conservative and Labour voters is just 5%). My guess is that this is a reflection of the Liberal Democrats often being the natural benificiary of the "a plague on both their houses vote".
