Anthony, use of online and telephone polling may reduce or eliminate the problem of geographical clustering. But it may introduce other sorts of issue. e.g. farms using business rather than personal telephones or, in very remote areas, the unavailability of cellphone and broadband services. Without inspect how the polls operate in detail, I would not know how adequately they compensate for these problems. But I suspect that if there are pitfalls rural areas are likely to fall into them.

Pete B raises a legitimate issue about postal voting, although not in the way I would have done. Also, his point about double registration has been replied to by OldNat, whose response reflects an uncomfortable situation.

The recruitment of Carol Vorderman is a brilliant example of how the Tories seem intent on throwing away the election that was theirs for the taking. Aligning yourself with someone who will lend their name to anything as long as it pays, like doing adverts for dodgy finance companies, will not impress anyone. Who is there at Central Office who can get a grip – or is it too late?

I wonder if those people who have been dismissing the 2% poll leads as blips are also going to discount this one?
