        All the polls are within the margin of error.

          Without bothering to read any of the stories, I would just point out that, theoretically, one party could be in its strongest position for x years and another party y points ahead of them, if during those x years, the difference of the second and first party's ranking had always been greater than y.

            When was the last time the party with the largest number of votes didn't form the government, has it happened before ?
            Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

            No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

              Only one poll counts - the one where they count actual votes.

                Only one poll counts - the one where they count actual votes and Labour postal votes from dead & made up people.

                  Interesting stuff here about the betting market being more of a guide than opinion polls
