But not with the online polls, stop clutching at straws

The problem with these opinion polls is that either online , by telephone or face to face you can come up with three different results as the respondents taking part might not be completely honest with their answers which throws up rogue polls here and there.

You're going to vote for a man that tried to kill our club ? One that used lies in his attempts to do so ? That belongs to the same party that ran LDC and that Bellotti belonged to ?

All polititians do things we agree with and things we disagree with...Norman has helped many local people I know... I`m old enough to remember our previous MP Tim Rathbone..A very typical old fashioned Tory....Useless localy unless you happened to be important..

Miliband and Hollande - same policies - same outcome. Be warned!

French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said the French people "have declared... their anger at a daily life that is too difficult". He vowed to redouble efforts to boost the economy, and said his focus was "jobs, jobs, jobs".

See - there's no easy fix!

It's all about Hove

"Whoever wins Hove … on the election trail in the bellwether seat"

I'll be voting Kyle.

Irrespective of his politics, Graham Cox is everything I would like my MP to be. I wish there were more people like him in parliament.

Who strangely is one of two candidates who haven't bothered to respond to a question I asked them all. The other being the Loon Hawtree.

There are ways and means to take this into account. It's not an exact science but you can apply a lot of science to the estimation.

Doesn't the "Hove born and bred" bit put you right off?

Hence the disclaimer the poll figures could be out by 3% either way :lol:

But the audience weren't laughing at Cameron because they thought the idea of him being a firm leader was ludicrous.

I'm not a Tory voter but by Christ this is no time to have a buffoon like a Red Ed in charge, especially with the antics of Putin in Europe and the fallout following a possible EU Referendum. Cameron's had 5 years of this, he's experienced, Ed would be so far out of his depth it would be dangerous.

This is the way forward.

Forget your 'first past the post' and 'proportional representation' electoral systems.

Lets have a 'you can only be Prime Minister if youve done it before for 5 years' system!

I think he was just giving his opinion, not suggesting a new voting system.

So we'll end up like France? I like the idea of a country with better dressed men and women and much nicer food. Bring it on Ed.

Or maybe, as Gordon Brown (remember him??) so convincingly put it, "This is no time for a novice"!

I prefer the Sunday Times/YouGov one of

Labour 36%
Tories 32%

Latest YouGov poll (29 - 30 Mar):

CON - 35% (+3)
LAB - 35% (-1)
UKIP - 12% (-1)
LDEM - 8% (-)
GRN - 5% (-1)

That didn't last long then?
