Yesterday’s News of the World poll made interesting reading – and not just because it predicted my own victory in Keighley and Ilkley at the forthcoming General Election.
The survey was conducted in the 145 most marginal seats at the 2005 Election where Labour came first and the Conservatives second.
If translated into real votes, the predicted 9% swing would give Prime Minister David Cameron a 64-seat majority in the new Parliament.
Clearly much can and no doubt will happen between now and polling day in 2009 or 2010.
However, it’s reassuring to know that real people on the ground clearly like what we’ve been saying on the big issues in recent months.
But for now, it’s on with the hard work.
