And they said it was all over

The Mole: Why has the Conservatives' poll lead slipped so low? | News & Politics | News & Comment | The First Post.

Unbelievable though it may seem, given the stories circulating of the present Labour Prime Minister throwing tantrums in Downing Street, and his predecessor not only refusing to apologise for the war in Iraq but appearing to suggest we should start a new one in Iran, Labour is closing the gap on the Tories in the latest pre-election opinion poll.

According to a ComRes poll for today's Independent, the gap is now only seven points, down from nine points a month ago. This is not only hung parliament territory - it's getting dangerously close to Labour-remain-in-power territory.

Adds a little sparkle of anticipation to the forthcoming show down , which is no bad thing.

And maybe, just maybe we can be saved from Cameron and Osborne.
