Why we must have electoral reform? – an illustration

Tonight’s YouGov daily poll puts the share of the vote as:
Con – 33%
Lab – 28%
LD – 30%

If you visit the bbc swingometer this would be translated into the following seats in Parliament:
Con 245
Lab 276
LD 100

Labour would be the largest party in Parliament despite being third in the popular vote.

Even worse, Labour would have 176 more seats than the Lib Dems.

Bonkers!!!

ICM Poll
CON 40(+1) LAB 22(-6) LD 25 (+5)

Whoa!!!

The first time this has happened since 1987.

Are we entering a new political epoch? Only time will tell.

Latest Populus Poll puts Lib Dems at 22% (up 4%), Labour on 26% (down 4%) and Conservatives 39% (down 4%).

The fieldwork for this poll was carried out in the intial fallout of the Telegraph expenses leaks.

With no real Lib Dem appearance in the expenses furore as yet, we could yet benefit further from the greed of others.
