Political Football
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.

Reading The Polls
The British pollsters for some years have followed the Gallup method of determining voting intention, asking a two part question, "How do you intend to vote in the General Election on 7th June?", and leaving aside those who say at that point they would not vote, asking the remainder, usually about 90%, "Which party are you most inclined to support?" (asked of those who say they are undecided or refuse to say for which party they would vote for). As a frame of reference, figures of 30% undecided, 10% would not vote and 3% refused would not be unusual at the first question, and when asked the second, the undecideds drop to 10% and the refusals to 2%.

(Not that you would know there have been any polls in Scotland from reading the London-based newspapers.) As the first post-devolution election, it will be fascinating to see how, if at all, the existence of the Scottish Parliament affects voting patterns, turnout, and the concerns which Scottish voters raise with their candidates.
