Tony Blair has really bollocksed things up for the Left in Britain.....
from the Independent UK:



Poll puts Tories on course for overall majority in election


By Andrew Grice, Political Editor
Tuesday, 26 February 2008


The Conservatives have opened an 11-point lead over Labour and are on course for an overall majority at the next election, according to the latest monthly poll for The Independent.

The survey by ComRes, taken after the Government announced the nationalisation of the ailing Northern Rock bank, will come as a relief to the Tories, whose lead over Labour was eroded in January.

According to the new poll, the Tories are on 41 per cent (up three points on last month), Labour is unchanged on 30 per cent, the Liberal Democrats remain on 17 per cent and other parties are on 12 per cent (down three). If repeated at the next election, David Cameron would win with an overall majority of 38.

ComRes, formerly CommunicateResearch, puts the Tories ahead among every social class, including the bottom DE group in which Labour has recently held the advantage. Among the top AB group, the Tories enjoy a commanding lead – they are on 43 per cent to Labour's 24 per cent. ......(more)

President of the EU.

What a freaking upside down, inside out, and backward world we live in.
