Polls

Remember Ken’s boast that only he could win the Election? Not really true, according to the latest polls:

At present Labour are 7 points ahead of the Conservatives.

What would happen with a new leader?

With Cameron as leader the Labour lead would fall to 5 points, while under Ken Clarke the Labour lead would increase to 9 points.

Now I have always taken such polls with a pinch of salt. Four years away from an election, anything could change. But KC was using such polls to support his position, and now even they are turning against him.

The punters have noticed. Ken continues to slowly decline in the betting stakes and he has been in fourth place since Friday.
