Sadly of course, that means a lot of the LibDem voters have returned to the Labour fold - god knows why..

Tories 11 pts behind Labour. Oops.

[ewenm]

Isn't this normal for mid-term polls and usually bears little relevance to the next GE?

Indeed, it's a fking huge oops - it would be a real national catastrophe if Labour were to manage the UK economy again within the next couple of decades.

Mmmm

Not sure if I agree

if we had labour just now we might have some real IMF driven cuts going on instead of business as usual. Which means the man on the streets see the evil tories cutting for no apparent reason

Certainly the polls and comments from people I know indicate that's how they see the Tories. Apparently we have an unlimited amount of cash at our disposal?

Nothing to do with people finally waking up and realising they don't want to live in an authoritarian socilaist distopia run by foreign beaurocrats then?

No, it's the guardian.

I actually used a Sun link first, but changed as the Sun article was lacking any substance at all!

Not surprising. Labour have simply 'bought' various large segments of the electorate through financial irresponsibility. The teachers/academia, the muslims, the students, the welfare class.

Its textbook Cloward-Pivens strategy, get people demanding more government when the problem itself is too much government.

[Ozzie Osmond]

Amongst other things Farage appears to have toned down some of his more idiotic rantings.

Not sure I agree. Darling's pre election economic programme was quite similar to the current coalition one. Ie - they both would have given us shocking levels of public borrowing and minimal cuts.

Look at our national debt and the rate our deficit is going down - neither indicates any level of 'savage cuts' at all.

Its ironic that the opposition are beating the Tories with the 'too much, too fast' stick when it comes to cuts however the truth is the opposite. Its too little, too slowly.

I agree that's what Darling said - but he's a politician in the Labour party. The unions would soon have told him about how he should act.

I must have missed that particular email. How much did we get ?

[Jasandjules]

Well if the Tories don't drop this AGW bu***t then I hope they are out on their a**s. Sadly, the only real alternative to that is UKIP.
