The usual form, on mornings such as these, is to put up a post setting the scene for the
elections ahead – although, really, there’s not much more to add than was said yesterday. Apart from a readers’ survey in the Metro this morning, the only poll to hit after yesterday’s
ICM bombshell is a YouGov one for the Sun, and it gives No a 20-point lead. Even given the complications of turnout and
geography, it looks as though Team No are heading for a straightforward victory.
As if to underline his increased personal involvement in the campaign, and perhaps tie himself that little bit closer to the eventual result, David Cameron has not one, but two, comment pieces in the papers today – in the Mail and in the Sun. The points that he makes in both are, of course, similar: that AV is unfair, that it unravels the principle of “one person, one vote,” and so on.
