    I pay little attention to polls if only because the numbers asked are usually so small and the demographic inconsistent. Fact is as Dave1 says, there is only really going to be a choice of Tory or Labour for the sensible voter (apologies to Vic) at the upcoming General Election.

    There is a long way still to go before that election and we haven't really seen the full impact of quantitative easing on the economy, but, inflation is already moving ahead of Government targets and is set to get worse. This will undoubtedly impact in the minds of voters who see real incomes drop dramatically and costs increase significantly. In other words, the feel good factor is going take a good kicking in the coming months. In that scenario, which most economists believe will happen soon, voters will drop the incumbent government like a stone. Their current blagging about the state of the economy won't be able to hide the truth for much longer.

    As for the Italians, well, they will surrender and the Yanks will sort them out as usual.

    So, my advice is don't pay any serious attention to the polls, but watch the economy.

    Finally, I do actually support the Governments policy of quantitative easing, without which many more banks and financial institutions would have gone to the wall creating an even more devastating impact on all our lives. It was the right choice by the rebellious Chancellor.
