So Much For Opinion Polls…


A poll was released this morning, which could show that the tide is turning in regards of public support of 42 days.

It comes from The Mail On Sunday, done in conjunction with pollsters ICM.

These are results from the first polls carried out in David Davis' constituency of Haltemprice and Howden in the aftermath of the former Shadow Home Secretary's decision to resign his post from the Tory cabinet. Obviously no surprise that Davis' would win any such election today, but the differential between the 2005 election result in that constituency and now is pretty startling. A lead of some 33 points, compared to just 11 in 2005, should make people think.

Furthermore it shows that the MP would beat, the Scum's 'pro-42 candidate' known as the Vermin by over 53 points – 67% to 14%.

Worryingly for Chairman Brown, it shows that Davis' assertion that people are concerned and worried, about Nu Labour's obsession with destroying our civil liberties is correct. In the same poll 59% agreed that Britain has become a nation of snoopers – and there's the government said that they had public opinion on their side.

Meanwhile, the Vermin is supposed to be having second thoughts over standing for the pro-42 lobby, after his handler, Rupert Murdoch reportedly disowned his campaign following disparaging comments from the Vermin, regarding the nearby city of Hull.

Not the first time, was it that the Vermin, had generalized a city in one word, now isn't it.

To further add to Chairman Brown's woes, rebel MP Bob Marshall-Andrews, who I have a lot of time for, has publically announced that he intends to support Davis' in any forthcoming by-election, and indicated that other Labour MPs agree with the stance taken by Davis, indeed it is reported that Ian Gibson, another principled and respected MP has indicated support.

And there's Chairman Brown saying that it was only the Tories who were divided.

Oops.

There has also been a number of writers and analysts who are beginning to come out of the woodwork in support of Davis' campaign. I have to say some of the best come from Henry Porter, in the Guardian. For those who are not in the know. Porter has fought a celebrated campaign, in the Guardian's sister paper, the Observer, for the past two years and
here
he explains, why he supports Davis' fight.

Furthermore in the Mail On Sunday, the leader of Liberty, Shami Chakrabarti explains
why she is supporting Davis on this, amid reports that she is to organize a 'Celebrities for Davis' grouping, as well as going on the campaign trail with him.

Brown's worst possible nightmare is beginning to unfold. The unholy alliance of Libertarian Conservatives, Liberal Democrats and Ultra-Left Wing Radicals such as myself and groups such as WSWS are against this on principle.

The next few weeks will decide how this country is governed for years to come. We have to rise to the fight that is coming.
