Political Parties as Football Teams

Couldn't resist the chance to combine football and politics. Below is my definitive list of Political Parties as Premiership Football teams.

Labour - Man Utd. After years in the wilderness has dominated its competition thanks to one charismatic leader, many of whom believe to be a tosser despite admiring his success. Most of their fans would like to see the current owners removed, and the rest of the country would like to see someone else in power. Its working class roots look more and more tenuous as the years go by.

Conservatives - Liverpool. Long spells of dominance, but in recent history have looked like they don't have a clue. Have a habit for not spending money where it needs to be spent. Believe themselves to be entirely different from their nearest rivals, despite being pretty much the same. Success may be finally on the horizon. Although we say that every year.

Lib Dems - Tottenham. See themselves as a genuine threat to the established order, but throughout history have come unstuck when placed into direct combat with them. Would like to think they have more fans than they actually do.

Green Party - Arsenal. Ultimately more interested in doing things the right way than achieving success. Still, everybody's second favorite.

UKIP - Bolton. New kids on the block who occasionally upset the odds when pitted against the big boys. Popular with people who remember the 'good old days' but are ultimately a bit too boring and British for most people's liking.

BNP - Stoke City. Achieving a surprising level of success, although nobody agrees with their methods.
