However, the Strathclyde University academic added: “Progress is not being made by Labour at anything like the speed necessary to avoid serious losses.<br /><br />“Given the state of the GB polls, those losses could make the difference between Ed Miliband being in sight of a workable majority and being quite a way off.”</i><br /><br />Note how Curtice always comments from a pro-Labour standpoint. He seems naturally to fall into the mindset of thinking how any poll impacts on Labour, from the mindset of someone sympathetic to Labour. I don't think I've ever noticed him doing the same thing from a pro-SNP standpoint.Rolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849975010197698907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-15367931341830575052015-02-18T21:37:59.154+00:002015-02-18T21:37:59.154+00:00Here is the page about it.
