Tony Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Who'd have thunk it? The pollsters have Miliband on 18%, Clegg on 22%. There's not much for Labour to get excited about on the economy either with more than half saying that they would trust Ed Miliband and Ed Balls to make the right decisions about the economy. http://www.comres.co.uk/poll/652/sunday-mirrorindependent-on-sunday-political-poll.htm Overall it seems that most politicians are leaving people cold.

Dangerous things statistics. Most opinion polls are accurate to roughly +/- 3%. So this data doesn't show that Clegg is more popular than Milliband. In any case, you might want to look at the "disagree" figures:wink: The entire poll ought to depress the life out of our political masters. They really must do better.

The difference between them is only one of them will be going into the next election as a prospective Prime Minister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it runs much deeper than voter apathy. I don't think that people believe that politicians have the power to change things anymore. Maybe they aren't different enough.

mj.scuba Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I read in another poll that leprosy is more popular than Miliband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's not so much that they don't have the power to change things, more that they are all seen to lack any inclination to serve the common good over their own interests / lust for power.

Rich Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I would rather turn in my British passport (which is 9 years out of date anyway) than vote Labour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky3 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I love PMQ's, Balls face doesn't agree with his forced actions, he knows he's lying most of the time and is very very concious about it, even seeks advice on it over pillow talk, reassured he's lying for the right reasons... His memoirs will be interesting, not a great read read, but interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
