Polls vary so much because they all use different methodology and weighting to adjust the figures. For example percentage of expected young voter turnout Vs historical records etc. I think I read that the one poll with the 1 point difference (is it survation?) has the young voter turnout to be...
Can you honestly think of anything positive from the Tory campaign? It's just be so uninspiring and offers nothing to look forward to really... I bet you there's an awful lot of votes that are against labour rather than for the tories. Hence the polls that show labours policies having a huge...
As far as polls go, here is an interesting blog on them if anyone is interested.

Pretty much confirms what most are expecting, so it's not exactly shocking but it's a good...
If only we had someone that was.. I dunno.. Strong and stable maybe?
VERY CLEAR, VERY CLEAR,
GOOD JOB, GOOD JOB,
STRONG AND STABLE, STRONG AND STABLE
RAAAAAAWWWK, WHO'S A PRETTY BOY THEN?
I think anyone getting excited about the polls as a genuine prediction are going to be sorely dissapointed come Friday morning. That said, they do give a decent insight into how the general view has shifted and I think May will be looking over her shoulder at her own party. She's looked dreadful...
There was a piece in the japanese news last night but I don't think it's new news. Brighton offering 3m euro, but Hertha wanting more. No mention of any other clubs interested.
Nah, she's done I'm positive of it. That's why she's hidden away as much as possible, surely. I think the only reason she hasn't gone already is because they assume that it'll hurt the campaign but I'm not sure it wouldn't help at this point.
To be honest, I wonder if she even wants the job...
What on earth is going on here? Disregard the user and the obvious bias in the tweet, I found it linked on another forum, but this is the third police guy in 24 hours calling out the tory government for bullshitting in less than 24 hours.. Something afoot? They seem to be going all in for some...
I don't think that's totally true, in polling, labour policies have picked up a huge majority as being favourable. I think this manifesto with a different front bench would do it. I winder if labour doing "well" in the context of where they were/where they are now will see more backbenchers on...
And tories ignore the fact that at that time, the worlds economy was ****ed. Global crash, not UK crash.
The constant battle is effective opposition and democracy. It's also not true that Labour MPs opposed every cut, many abstained or voted with the tories in george osbournes welfare reforms...
This post suggests than anyone on the left doesn't work hard, doesn't contribute and expects everyone to pay their way for them. And you talk about "age-old things".
I didn't even realise they were still trying. Just looked it up and they're standing in 10 seats? Any locally? I've not seen a peep, but then they never had much of a presence round here.
I didn't hear her remarks on back doors, but I can guess it's like all governments and displaying a severe lack of knowledge as per. I love how they seem to think that this back door will be kept a secret forever and only for them! This time it will be secure, trust us! Despite the fact that...
He gave a speech last night where he mentioned it. The relevant section, he said:
"Our priority must be public safety and I will take whatever action is necessary and effective to protect the security of our people and our country that includes full authority for the police to use whatever...
She parrots the "its not the numbers it's the powers" line again too, which completely ignores the fact that no one is disputing the powers at all. What people are disputing is the fact that we don't have enough police gathering intelligence on the ground and working within the communities to...
