Watching the (rather empty) House of Commons debate invading Libya - what I need to know is... what percentage of the population must be against Gaddafi to warrant invasion by us warmongers?

Even the most rabid anti-Gaddafi outsiders must admit that 1% want him to stay in power. Or even 5%. Or possibly 20%. Or 30%...

Because since even the coalition in the UK doesn't have over 50% of the population supporting it, would it be legitimate for Libya to invade Great Britain to liberate those of us who have been oppressed by our ruling regime (and the previous one)?

Not true, JK

2010 election results

Percentage

Conservative 36.1%
Labour 29.0%
LibDem 23.0%

36.1% plus 23.0% is wll over 50% last time I checked (although under loony Labour's education reforms it may not be any more).
