On figures just released by YouGov, the LibDems have lead-frogged Labour on the back of Nick Clegg’s performance in the debate last night. The figures are:
CON 33%(-4), LAB 28%(-3), LDEM 30%(+8).
According to UK Polling Report if this were translated into a uniform swing across the country it would, bizarrely, lead to Labour winning the most seats in Parliament. If ever there was a case for changing the voting system to a proportional one this is it. Nor do I think Labour’s late conversion to an “Alternative Voting” system is enough, only the STV (Single Transerable Vote) system will lead to fairer Parliament.
Isn’t fairness what everyone has been banging on about?
