    What a muggeroo!

    Went to back Lab maj at 40 in the overall Majority market, had to deposit into Betfair... put in wrong code for card.. missed the 40 took 38

    Then looked at "Next govt" market and it was 40! Had that too

    Tops up the 44 I backed earlier in the week

    Better Together had the entire Establishment unified in terror. Much as they might make the pretence to be different in any meaningful way, the Tories and Labour are two cheeks of the same arse. Labour doesn't generate the fear or could guarantee a unified response across all media, business and other vested interests.

    Lynton Crosby has failed.

    These polls aren't reflecting that, the sharpest attacks happened after the fieldwork (and will, in any case, never be that noticed given the constantly churning news cycle).

    Personally my skepticism about Labour continues. I suspect these polls are just setting Labour up for reversion to the mean next week - which will no doubt be accompanied by stories about why they are declining suddenly.

    I didn't want the Tories to be in the desperate dire straits post May 7th to have to call upon him, but I do actually fancy his chances in 2020 against EdM.

    If these polls are supported by others in the coming days, then the focus is going to have to be on 2020 and making sure Ed is only a one term PM.

    It's your own fault. Soaking the rich is always popular even if it means cutting off your nose to spite your face.

    If it's a minority Labour government with SNP support, the Scots Nat's could well pull the plug at any moment (we'll literally be in a knife edge of the government collapsing every single day) so we may get Ed out before 2020.

    With the exception of a good and well-received Budget (albeit uninspiring), it's been a disastrous opening to the campaign from the Conservatives. I can hardly cite a positive thing about it.

    What on earth are they playing at?

    Why didn't they have their manifesto ready by the end of March with some exciting and eye-catching ideas in it for their activists to go out and sell? Folk will be sending postal votes back before there's even a sniff of what the manifesto contains.

    We are going to get an Ed clusterfuck government

    Anyone with any shrewd intellect will have already and certainly now be calculating how to steer clear of the final Labour catastrophe.

    To any lefties I worked fecking hard for my skills and my money, my business and those I do employ.

    I am not ever again going to let Labour use that money in a public urinal.

    Our business won't survive another Labour financial disaster that's for sure...

    I wish the markets hadn't closed and I could cash out my equities

    I seriously think there's gonna be a very red ed day on the markets tomorow

    At least my laying Con position (-3.2k con, +5.6k lab) compensates a bit.

    I will have serious contempt for the general public if this comes about

    LAB—35.0

    Quite calm Pong, really I am. I and many others are just being realistic. That's how we employ many and make money which of course benefits the exchequer both ways.

    Until 7 th may

    I was being sarcastic - these are bad polls for the Cons

    I know everyone is focussed on May, but this is more interesting polling on the status of Hillary post emailgate and with fresh-breaking news of more major foreign government donations to the Clinton Foundation.

    I don't know the answer to this, but I wonder if an electorate could elect someone they find not to be honest and trustworthy. I doubt this will factor much with the core Dem vote, but could it kill her chances with the independents in swing states?
