Margin of Error

It is quite clear that the BBC now has an editorial position of describing Labour as "six points behind", even though only one polling company has shown any Conservative lead at all in the last 80 days.

The four most recent polls have shown a Labour lead of three per cent (Kantar), a Labour lead of two per cent (ComRes), a dead heat (BMG), and another Labour lead of three per cent (Survation). 

Of course, all of those are within the margin of error, and none of them would deliver an overall majority for either party. So another hung Parliament is coming, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it.

It has become a local commonplace that I am on 30-30-30 with Labour and the Conservatives here at North West Durham, so that any one of us could be the First Past the Post. I will stand for this seat, if I can raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
