Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

UK - Populus poll: CON 32%, LAB 40%, LDEM 12%, UKIP 8% - last Populus poll of 2013

Anywhere between 4% and 8% is within error rates. That's why the polls go up and down every day. Basically the gap is static.

LOL. HE MAKES IT UP AS HE GOES ALONG.

I suppose it doesnt swing then to the tories within these tolerance points. Its just labours figures that swing too and fro. LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

Does anyone know how low the vote take has to go before the dim/libs start falling apart?

The UK economy is growing faster than previously estimated, according to the latest official figures.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said gross domestic product was up 0.8% in the July-to-September period compared with the previous quarter, confirming its previous estimate.
But it revised its growth figures for earlier quarters.
This means the estimated annual growth rate has now risen from 1.5% to 1.9%, a revision that has surprised economists.
A Treasury spokesman said: "Today's data show that the recovery has been stronger than previously thought and that the government's long-term economic plan is working.

It would be an error if tories got a higher %.

There can't be that many voters daft enough to do that.

Max.

The only straw the Lib/dems have to hang onto are themselves.

Re-read the ONS data to-day, not what I can see!

All the Tories have to do, is to 'UKIPise' about four of their policies and they'll walk it.

Where to?

"Not all data was positive today though as Britain's deficit with the rest of the world widened to £20.7bn from £6.2bn in the third quarter, equivalent to 5.1% of GDP - its biggest share of GDP since 1989.

Data also released this morning showed that UK consumer confidence deteriorated this month. The GfK Consumer Confidence Index fell from -12 to -13 in December, surprising analysts who had expected a small up-tick to -11."

LONDON (Reuters) - The British public's expectations for inflation over the next 12 months eased again in December, according to a survey published on Friday.

Inflation expectations for the year ahead fell to 2.6 percent from 2.7 percent in November, a survey by polling company YouGov showed.

Expectations had hit a two-year high of 3.2 percent in October.

Bank of England Governor Mark Carney has said the jump in expectations in October was probably pushed up by news of big rises in gas and electricity bills.
