It will be interesting to see where this polling goes as the novelty wears off in the next week or so.
Doubt if there will be a massive difference, tbh - barring something totally unexpected derailing him, Carswell is going to win.

There has got to be some kind of electoral law against this kind of thing surely?

And it'll get worse. Hopefully there are decent people that were tempted to vote UKIP and will be put off by nasty stuff like that.

Fraser Nelson ‏@FraserNelson 22m
RT @ScottishPol: Unlikely that Tories will win next general election says @RuthDavidsonMSP >> verdict of Scottish Tories, experts in defeat

George Eaton ‏@georgeeaton 22m
Remarkable: Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson has just said that it isn't "likely" the Tories will win the general election.

George Eaton ‏@georgeeaton 21m
Understandable that Davidson is trying to dampen Scottish fears of Tory victory, but what will Cameron think?
So - even the Scottish Tories are now briefing against a Westminster Tory win in 2015 because they know how toxic a prospect that is in Scotland and what a boon to the YES campaign .....

I'm getting nervy (and not just because I really don't relish the thought of Dan Hodges doing a streak if YES wins .... horrible, horrible.)
Working on the wild side.

You can put your house on the Harman/PIE stuff coming out again.

And the inquiry which after nearly 2 months still has no chair? Kicked into the long grass...won't report before the election.

Talking of inquiries...can you imagine the whining that would have gone on if Burnham had announced a public inquiry into Mid Staffs and had left it unfinished at the election in 2010.

I just worked out that if a public inquiry had been announced in July 2009 it would have reported in March 2012. Imagine the outrage...

I love the fact that with no sense of irony, they're quoting Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

They have no shame - front pages outrage on the 'uman rights industry...but then when it comes to themselves...oh look!

Same as Griffin when someone leaked the BNP membership list.

Hypocrites.
