Labour could win election, poll shows
« on: March 01, 2010, 09:23:07 AM »
Quote from: New Statesman
Tory lead cut to just two points in new YouGov poll.

Labour could yet emerge as the largest party after the election, according to a new poll which reveals that the party is now just two points behind the Conservatives. The Sunday Times/YouGov survey put the Tories on 37 per cent, down two points since the last poll, with Labour rising two to 35 per cent and the Liberal Democrats up one to 17 per cent. Other parties were down one to 11 per cent.

I've been thinking about this...  rubschin:

I reckon the best thing for the country would be a Labour win.  eeek:

It is what the sheeple deserve and it would make Labour face the catastrophic effect of its policies. I don't think they'd last long anyway with a reduced majority - vote of no confidence in a year or two and another GE?

The big bonus tho is that the Tories would melt down in the election post mortem. Definitely a new leader - hopefully one that has a pair - and some real policies on the EU, immigration, small government, etc. Someone like Dan Hannan.

It would mean a few more years of pain but we are going to be faced with that anyway. If labour win we might end up with an electable Tory party.

You Gov polls are largely conducted by making calls to people at home during the day. Draw your own conclusions!
