    There must be something really wrong with those angus reid polls, they always seem to be so different to every single other poll. I reckon they must just collect all their data in some suburb in the south.
    So unproductive has conservatism been in producing a general conception of how a social order is maintained that its modern votaries, in trying to construct a theoretical foundation, invariably find themselves appealing almost exclusively to authors who regarded themselves as liberal. - F.A.

    Their figures for both the Tories and the LibDems are within the bounds of normal sampling differences though, so perhaps the Labour figure is reflective of voter uncertainty whether to go with that party or not, or perhaps to opt for one of the minor parties on the day(s) that the poll took place. Just a thought, nothing more.
