The bigger story from that chart, is the tailing off of UKIP and rise of the machines Greens.
Also interesting that the immigrants they interview say that England is better because they will be given food and a housing for free.
What's absurd is that those that get caught hiding on trucks just get kicked out of the compound to try again, rather than processed for asylum or sent back home.
Nevertheless, we will see. The coming week is my first proper litmus test although I could do with the weather being warmer. That'll cost us a good 1%
p.s. oh and by the way that wiki chart you're reliant on, Mike, hasn't been updated since Jan 10th. The humble pie is going to be so delicious to serve.

Sunday Times reporting: Francis Maude, Conservative MP for Horsham, is standing down as an MP at the election
Another one seeing the writing on the wall. IIRC didn't Martians land on Horsham Common?
Contrary to notme on the last thread, I'm not finding many "don't knows" at all. The ones I'm finding are in most cases I think actually non-voters - they eye you absent-mindedly and say "oh, I dunno really, no I didn't vote last time". That may be a marginal effect, and the fact that the constituency has really been in election mode for 6 years now. The roads I canvassed this afternoon were roads I've done three times before in that period.
An exciting week coming up - Audrey is going to start paying attention to the polls! I have a bet with her of £10 that there won't be a 7-point Tory lead...
Tonights YG EICIPM
LAB 340 CON 265 LD 18 EICIPM
If the latter, I'll pop by and drink his health - I used to have a garden nearby so know the area reasonably well

If there was no press wouldn't we be less nervous and afraid of things?
Would we not be happier and more civilised as humans and have proper conversations rather than stabbing people in the back or putting each other down.
Although my gut feel is that the Lab lead has all but gone and we are now neck and neck.
The article was about what was happening recently.
There is a long-term rise, seemingly at Labour's expense. More recently the Green's seem to be getting the benefit.
Thanks PTP forgot the Buzz of a rally big win (not there yet 4 holes to go) and in the bloody water
Indeed Owls now owned by John West brand been stocking up on Tuna this very morning,
BTW are you aware of Huntingdons free race tickets bagged some earlier this week for meeting on 1/3/15.
Am staying with friends with Mrs BJ and looking forward to my first Huntingdon races visit for about 20 years

The Tories are going to get massacred in the Northwest. Nothing will stop this from even happening. They don't report till late but from 4.30am onwards seat after seat after seat will fall. Noteven miliband can stop this.
London will be another tory graveyard. The key is the east Midlands. J23-J28 on m1 will be epicentre of who wins.
The YouGov for now has CON 32%, LAB 35%, LD 7%, UKIP 15%, GRN 6%
It moved a bit in between, sometimes with Labour and Tories going up or both down, but this has the significance of the first labour lead. If Labour have not taken any vote of Tories and the Green vote is down then there is only one party left and that is the SNP. The question of sampling not to mention voter confusion always remains in this situation.
I can only conclude there has been no movement over the last week. Is there a dam somewhere about to burst. The first signs are a tiny crack and a little trickle of water.
Consumerism is evil pushed by thr press.

The Labour lead is down from 3-4.5% in September to near-zero now...
The "vote ukip get labour" mantra from ghastly people like Shapps hardens the ukip resolve, Cameron is toast.

Isn't that where the Martians used the heat ray? My memory tells me that there is a muslim burial ground there from ww1?
Front page looks apolitical enough to me.

Think you said 66% last night.
Tory overall maj chance still over 90% presumably?
Was Mike expecting good news for Con and he had this written in advance?

I'll do some number crunching when I have the full tables.

BTW I do agree the trend since October has been running against my EICIPM forecast and can see it being mighty close.
You think the chances of EICIPM is about 1% dont you?
Labour win. You pay me. Tories win. I pay you.
Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy accused of defying Miliband by ordering Labour’s Scottish MPs to quit Westminster now and return to their constituencies to fight for their seats in May’s Election.
Allies of Miliband accused former Blairite Cabinet Minister Peter Mandelson of masterminding a plot to ‘destablise’ him.
Miliband faced claims of paranoia from Shadow Ministers after telling them: ‘I know they’re coming for me and I am ready for it.’

Even in the simple average, Lab now 0.2% ahead across the week's polls, inc. the Sunday YG!
(ELBOW will be calculated once the YG tables come out)
Offer removed.
Go to the bookies you will make more money if you put 200 on a Tory hold. I think you would get 2\1.
Good luck.

Some would consider that a gamble in itself!
Laying the bet at 13-8 would be a fair option and save you both paying bookie's over-round.
