Aside from the massive UKIP gain which he brushed over swiftly.

Also 5% lab swing seems OK to me, no?

As a bit of light relief heres some election coverage from Taiwan!

Am I right in thinking that the last couple of ICMs were a tad barking in their samples or weighting?

One of them was so bad even the ICM man said it was a load of rubbish.

I wonder if the new voters that registered in the last week will make any difference to the polls.

I would think the majority of them might be younger, first time voters so if thats the case theoretically that might swing more votes towards the left.

Latest ICM poll

hah that didnt work.

CON lead down to 2% in latest ICM poll
@Conservatives 34% @UKLabour 32% @LibDems 10% @UKIP 11% @TheGreenParty 5% Others

Morning everyone. I haven't watched Newsnight in a long time, but watched most of it last night after Jack Dee's rather poor election 'comedy' panel show (including the now obligatory dig at Ed M).

Stanley pens arguments along this sort of line:

I think hes a complete tool tbh. His appearance today did nothing to persuade me otherwise.

FuriousGeorge

So the Conservative party are delaying the release of their manifest by 24hrs, so they can "unpick" Labours.

This either means they are terrified of whats in Labours manifesto, or theirs is so threadbare they are going to copy and paste it into theirs.

SDLP [unsurprisingly] have stated they will support Labour if they win seats.

Apparently its all Labours fault because they were given the files 11 days before Parliament was dissolved, so they should have acted then.

Not that anything has been done in the last 5 years of this coalition.
