Lib Dems leapfrog Labour in polls - Yahoo! News UK

wouldnt look to much into that milo. If that poll is indeed right im pretty sure labour mantain power on the basis they`ll have more electoral seats.

the general concensous from all the polls totalled up tends to suggest its more like 38%-tory, 32%-labour, 22%-libdem, 8%-others (UKIP, green, SNP, BNP etc)
True, only early days yet, but a glimmer of hope for those that care. I despise the British first past the post system though.

I was reading this interesting article today looking at the unspoken issue of Afghanistan. I might have started my idiots in the military thread, but you know, I would sooner have no wars and would certainly much rather have nobody in the military being killed for what is no more than an imperial measure to secure future gas reserves. Over 40 British troops dead this year already. And nobody is talking about it. They should be though, the war is 9 years old and no end is in sight.
