Westminster voting intention:

LAB: 39% (-)
CON: 37% (-)
LDEM: 8% (-1)
UKIP: 7% (+1)
GRN: 3% (-)

If repeated in a GE we would be looking at another hung parliament. So what's the point ?

That's a poll. Poll's don't mean anything. 1,000 people's opinion or viewpoint isn't the opinion or viewpoint of the whole country, also I think people lie in polls.

What still amazes me is that there is still loadsa folk in England who back the toerags and their divisive political ideology. As Devongone previously iterated, I can't figure how these outdated political parties have not been overtaken by a different political party with a 21st century progressive outlook on the positive way forward. Traditionalism still prevails and I'd love to see the age split on this issue. I won't be surprised!

It's due to the media. The right wing media tell people how to vote by smearing the opposition and when the media can't smear party policies or plans in manifesto's then they attack the leader personally as a last resort. Look what the media did to Ed Miliband and Corbyn.

Margaret Thatcher had it right when she said: "When they attack you personally, it means they have not a single political argument left". Like her or loathe her it's true.

Also from 1979 onwards every leader that a certain media mogul has backed has got into power.
