Citizenship 21: Briefing Notes On Profiles Of Prejudice
Commissioned by Stonewall's Citizenship 21 Project, new data from a MORI poll reveals the profile of prejudice in this country.

Polls Apart!
Never did I ever think I'd write the most trite poll story headline, but I'm tempted tonight, writing on the eve on the publication of three opinion polls in the Sunday newspapers: MORI in the Sunday Telegraph with 1,010 interviews nationwide conducted over the last couple of days, NOP in the Sunday Times with 1,000+ interviews, and ICM in the Observer also with just over 1,000, all done over the telephone.

Labour's nightmare may be coming to haunt them the night of the 7th of June.

Once again most of the proprietors of the Sunday newspapers have kept their money in their pockets and left the field to NOP in the Sunday Times, who have Labour on 49%, the Tories on 30%, Lib Dems on 14% and others at 7%. Our model projects this to a 235 seat Labour majority, the BBC's natty model (worth a look) has it at 227. On ours, this result would cost the Tories 19 seats off their 1997 165, add another 28 to Labour's 419, and drop the Liberal Democrats by 8, from 46 at the last election.
