7 Up
Labour is seven points ahead.
Seven.
The Lib Dems are on five per cent.
Five.
The party led by the Deputy Prime Minister has an entire showing of two less than the Labour lead over the Conservatives.
^ Uhhhh, I think it means LD maybe 2, not 11. All the swingometres are bogus because they are purely arithmetic. They are designed for the good ol' days of the 70s when the Tories and Labour moved just a few points each way in generally two-way races.
Meaning:
ReplyDeleteLab 370 +112
Tory 240 (+25-92) -67
LD 11 -46
Lab Maj 90
