    Updated: 2010-04-30 06:44:56
    Clegg's attack on Gordon Brown yesterday, while signalling his desire to be PM, is also a boon for Labour.

    Cameron, Osborne, Ashcroft and the rest of the Tory project can feel the prize of absolute power slipping away from them, and they don't like it one bit.

  • Will defeat be a mercy for Gordon?

    Updated: 2010-04-28 17:43:42
    Reflecting on the first two Party Leaders’ debates something struck me which was perhaps not obvious at the time: Gordon Brown didn’t look particularly worried about what must now be the approaching end to his turbulent Premiership. Regardless of how the election campaign twists and turns between now and 6th May, there seems little chance [...]

  • The Second Leaders’ Debate

    Updated: 2010-04-28 17:43:40
    Last night Bristol hosted the second televised Leaders’ Debate of the 2010 General Election. The event was staged by Rupert Murdoch’s Sky News but, unlike ITV, NewsCorp did allow the live footage to be streamed to the BBC News Channel. However, interest seems to have dipped as early indications suggest that combined viewing figures were [...]

  • Why are the Tories so unbelievably rubbish?

    Updated: 2010-04-28 17:43:39
    The opinion polls still maintain the ability to shock. The latest survey from YouGov puts the Lib Dems on 34%, the Conservatives in second on 31% and Labour trailing in third on an astonishing 26%. Whether or not you believe the picture the opinion polls are painting, one thing is clear: the Tories are somehow [...]

  • Will Rupert Murdoch be locked out of British politics?

    Updated: 2010-04-28 17:43:37
    “In so many ways, a vote for the Lib Dems is a vote against Murdoch and the media elite.” Amid all the media hysteria about the prospects and consequences of a hung parliament, possibly the most noteworthy contribution was David Yelland’s surprisingly thoughtful piece in Monday’s Guardian. Yelland speculates that an unexpected by-product of no [...]

    Updated: 2010-04-28 17:43:36

    Updated: 2010-04-28 17:43:34
    I’ve written before about why we need a fair voting system in a democracy, and this has been highlighted by the recent rash of opinion polls which place the Liberal Democrats ahead of Labour and not so far behind the Tories. Now, I should add a disclaimer here. I think the opinion polls are far [...]

    “The more they attack each other, the more they sound exactly the same.” – Nick Clegg I couldn’t pretend that I was tremendously excited about the first of the televised Leaders’ Debates between Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Nick Clegg.

  • Are the pollsters getting it wrong – again?

    Updated: 2010-04-28 17:43:30
    I mentioned before that the 2010 General Election probably has more parallels with 1992 than 1997, and I’m particularly starting to form this impression with regard to the opinion polls. Those of us who are old enough will remember how John Major’s Tory government trailed in all but (I think) one of the surveys carried [...]

    Updated: 2010-04-28 17:43:27
    In spite of recession, seemingly endless divisions within the Labour Party and a government whose default mode appears to be "under siege", the Tories haven't yet managed to close the deal. Of course, Cameron is still the bookies' favourite to win but, all things considered, a lead opposition party with any degree of trust among the electorate should have been out of sight by now.
