Have the Turnip Taliban sunk the tories..?

Not yet, perhaps. But a poll in the Independent makes for interesting reading.

It reckons falling Tory support means we're heading for a hung parliament at the next election, with metropolitan moderniser Cameron losing three per cent of voters in a month.

"It puts the Conservatives on 37 per cent (down three points on last month), Labour on 27 per cent (no change), the Liberal Democrats on 20 per cent (up two points) and other parties on 16 per cent (up one point)," the Indie says.

"Because of the way the first-past-the-post voting system works, the figures would leave the Tories six seats away from an overall majority if repeated at the election."

Optimism about the economy could close the gap still further. If the comres survey's echoed by results at the polls, there will be many who'll trace the downfall of the Cameroons back to South West Norfolk.

That was where the class war wobble truly started.
