Who ya gonna believe, Dave, a USA Today phone survey or a bunch of liberal scientists?

As to a connection between suicide and political parties, the BBC reported an Australian study a few years ago and found that the suicide rate spikes during times of Conservative government and falls when Labour are in charge. Every time, no exceptions and significantly.
