LOl...good morning mikey....... ...knew they would have been good for Labour otherwise we would not have heard from you (hope that isn't unfair, wasn't meant to be). I got bored halfway down. I don't think that anybody has EVER disputed that Labour had been ahead in the polls since 2012.

Good morning to you as well Sqad...nice and warm in the Med today I hope.
No, as you say, no one can possibly say that Labour haven't been ahead in the Polls for nearly 3 years. But it is at odds sometimes with the widely spread view that Labour can't be trusted with the economy. You see the Tory papers chipping away at Labour but the general public stubbornly refused to be taken in. As I have often said, it could all change for the better for dave but if he is going to have any chance in May 2015, he had better get his skates on !
One tactic he could consider is to stop plying the Head Frog with a ploughmans lunch, and put his wellies on and get down to Somerset and start showing some concern for his own people, most of which are his own Parties voters.

Gromit...this Poll was published last Friday, showing a 10 point lead for Labour.

My point is that the Tories have been behind for nearly 3 years, and have shown no medium to long term improvement. The Press continually *** off the Labour Party, recently by having a snipe at Bob Crow. Ed Balls is constantly criticised and every time Miliband opens his mouth, the same thing happens. Most people would agree that there is an open goal for dave to aim at here, but he doesn't appear to be getting through to enough people to turn that his party's fortunes around, at least where Polling is concerned.
I am sure that the Tory Party HQ is aware of this but they don't seem to do anything about the situation.

In the polls at this time in 2009. (15 months before the election) the Conservatives had a 12 point lead over Labour. That trnslated in the Tories not getting enough votes to form a Government.

The attacks on Labour are from the right wing press and are nothing new. Every Labour Government and Opposition has endured them. You cannot attribute Labour's poor rating as due to a few Daily Mail headlines. Miliband and his team doesn't seem to have much of a connect with voters. It doesn't feel like a Labour bandwagon heading to he election, it feels like an hesitant learner driver.

So if Labour 5-10 point lead over the Tories is poor, what word would you use to describe the Tories 10-5 lag behind Labour then ? Very every poor perhaps ?
It depends on what Poll you read but taking You Gov as a guide, the Tories have been consistently behind Labour for nearly three years. Isn't it the Tories that had better get their skates on ?

An incumbant Government always lose support during their term. Thatcher and Blair both had a huge majority which was cut substantially at the next election.
The Conservatives didn't get much of a lead at the general election. They are starting from a very lowly position of having virtually no majority.
To be only 5 points down 4 years in is a pretty good result.
