Latest Opinion Polls

'In the last Prime Minister's Questions before May 5, Howard is enjoying himself, like a man with an overdraft at the blood bank. How many Labour MPs have Blair's picture on their campaign literature, he wants to know? A few oafishly loyal Blairites raise their hands instead of asking why Tories would decorate their leaflets with snaps of a Vlad the Impaler impersonator.' Ian Bell in the Sunday Herald, 10 th April 2005.
