There is a new ICM/YouGov tracking poll out (following the allegations of bullying) in today's Guardian. I like to think that Guardian is a left-wing paper, but some of the patronising crap they come out with sometimes is mind boggling.
Anyway, the article is here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/feb/23/hung-parliament-tory-support-crumbles

The YouGov poll for The Sun is out. No movement despite being taken entirely this side of 'bullygate' - which now looks like damaging the Tories if anything.
39%(nc), LAB 33%(nc), LDEM 17%(nc)

I'd say that puts all talk of 12 and 14% leads firmly to bed for the time being.

There are but they're usually small parts of national ones - political betting had a look and found larger swings to try from labour in marginals - the results in local elections in these wards don't bear this out though, they show the opposite in fact. Here's is a list of vulnerable seats -the ones where the election will be won or lost, maybe worth checking local papers etc Here's one with figures.

The tories had this poll as them on 41% and labour on 29% last night, went all over the tory blogs

Yeah the Tories really fucked up on this rather important issue - they scared the public with their rabid joy when talking of cuts, and they seem to be out of step with wider 'economic wisdom' too, with many 'experts' writing to the FT last week in support of Labours delayed cuts strategy.
I guess they didnt learn much from Thatchers disaster with silly monetarist fundamentalism.

So if the conservatives get in but there's a hung parliament could we end up with Boris as Prime Minister if there's a leadership contest?

I dont think you'd be too likely to see a leadership contest under those conditions, maybe later.

That list gives Brighton Pavillion as a Conservative gain from Labour when it's almost certain to go to the Greens - or at least they had a pretty substantial majority in a recent poll. OK it's only one seat.

The greens are not going to get that seat, they'll get 12%. But more stuff like this the better please - do you live in a marginal? What's happening?

I haven't been following the Green's campaign in Brighton at all, so I'm curious about your reasoning? In so far as I've heard anything it's been excited Greens talking up their chances.

It is perfectly plausible that the green vote would go up enough to stop labour winning, but not by enough to beat the tories. hence....
Tho that poll seems dubious as it has the Greens on exactly the same as last time and they are incredibly likely to have made gains in the last five years there.

They're going to get squeezed the same way the lib-dems are nationally.

I dont think they will, or not as bad as you think anyway. Neither Labour nor the Tories are actually popular, they're just no as bad as the other lot. And the Greens havent (to most people, who dont pay particular attention to the goings on in Ireland Germany or Leeds) shown themeselves to be utterly worthless self-serving tossers yet. I still dont think they'll quite win, but it'll be interesting.
They'll deffo get more than half the votes they did last time, which is what your 12% has them on.

12% was rash - 18%

When this fugly albino baffoon was running for the Mayor of London post, I did not believe that London people would actually vote an embarassment like BJ in. But now I would not be suprised if he were to become a PM in the near future.

Londoners didn't. It was all those cunts from Bromley and places like that who also got to vote...

they could be 'cunts', yes, but they still live in London albeit greater London. bottom line is that a bastard like boris is an elected official. and that's tragic, that's all.

Looking hard, but I cant find a post were your not critisising somebodys politics. Do you actually have any politics of your own?
