Swing low swingometer for the General Election

I forgot to mention this while fighting fires and responding to the governments call of the election

Although cliched, this was an excellent graphic by Stefan Bayley at the Telegraph

It clearly shows what David Cameron and the Conservatives need to do in their uphill task of winning an increasingly-unlikely election victory

Great stuff

General Election leaders' TV debate

General Election leaders' TV debate

Its party time, the 2010 election has finally started, and Nick Clegg has smashed through the "two-party system" in the historic TV debate on ITV tonight

The Telegraph’s verdict

Benedict Brogan says Cameron stayed calm but Clegg got the cream

Janet Daley believes there was no clear winner

And the Telegraph explains that Clegg used the first TV debate to best effect

I agree: Round 1 to the Lib Dems

The Polls
Telegraph: Clegg: 40 per cent, Brown: 16 per cent, Cameron: 44 per cent
Sky: Clegg: 37 per cent, Brown: 32 per cent, Cameron: 31 per cent
ITV: Clegg: 43 per cent, Brown: 20 per cent, Cameron: 26 per cent

All other press is running with the same theme, Guardian, Independent and the Times

Usual press/party bias applies, as expected
