Attention Sqad, Sp And Others...new Yougov Poll !
http://
Not much change but it is interesting to see that, despite all the hoo-ha about Farage over the last 3 days, UKIP still stands at 13%. An earthquake ...maybe just a little tremor !

Still concentrating on the little guy whilst ignoring Labour's failure in opposition eh mikey?

From the link:
There has been an "awful lot" of criticism of Ed Miliband, according to the BBC's political correspondent Alan Soady.
He said: "I think it is a wake-up call for some in the party leadership that UKIP can do a substantial amount of damage to their vote in their traditional heartlands.
"I think previously they had assumed that largely UKIP would do more damage to the Conservatives than Labour."

Morning Sqad !
Not difficult really. I am merely pointing out that UKIP have been Polling around an average of 13% for months now. I would have thought that as Farage's face has been in the media continually for the last few days, and his Party made inroads into Tory and Conservative heartlands, this might have been reflected in YouGov's Poll, taken last Thursday and Friday.

Ow !! what a turn off !
Narty narty Sqad ! EXACTLTY my response - perhaps it is conditioning from a previous life.
if any one else is planning to torture readers in this way - then a must read is: The Visual Display of Quantitative Information by Edward R. Tufte (Feb 1992)
which tells you how not to do it .
what does the NatGov poll say by the way ?

s Mackenzie used to say on tel in the sixties:
it doesn't matter what you think - it's the swingometer that counts !
13% has been around for a few days - and when the notoriously fair minded Beeb were doing the polls on Thur., did anyone work out if they had adjusted projected MP seats for the voting ?
13% of the vote DOESNT mean 13% of the MPs seats
[as in low percentage parties you need more votes to gain a seat]

Thank you mikey4444
The numbers that I find myself curious about is the swing from Con to UKIP and the swing from Lab to UKIP.
Because if the swing has eaten into the Con vote, then it's possible that we are going to see Lab returned with a majority at the next GE.
And if that happens, it will be the complete opposite of what UKIP voters want.
It will be a complete nightmare/dream come true*

There is a long time between now and next May for things to change.However,if Ed Milliband is to become Prime Minister,god help us, then he must listen to the people who brief him and thus avoid clangers like his radio interview in Swindon.Also, apparently Mikey another poll shows that despite Labour having a lead people are still prefering David Cameron over Ed Milliband as Prime Minister
Grumpy ...interesting point about Labour and Ed. Fortunately, Ed's name won't be on the ballot papers next May. It will say Labour. YouGov start off by asking what party you would vote for if there was an election tomorrow.
Its a standard opening question in any political Poll, and all Pollsters use the same question. People maybe less than happy with Ed, but they are still saying that they will vote Labour. All this is maybe a bit obvious but I thought I would explain it anyway !
Brionon...I agree...I have been warning of the rise of the Far Right across Europe for a long time now. There are regular reports in the press about the activities of Golden Dawn, in Greece for instance. This week in the Guardian, there was a worrying piece that said that Golden Dawn was ditching boots for suits ::
