Britain's opposition Labour Party has taken a 1 percentage point lead over Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservatives, according to a YouGov opinion poll published on Friday, though still within the poll's margin of error.

too weak and too weird... but...
Hapless Leftist losing to serious Leftist.
How’s UKIP figure into all of this?
Every party has people that say stupid things. As long as its rejected by the party.
UKIP needs to remember it’s not the Jews that are bringing down England, it’s the muslim and debtor countries’ drain on its resources.
"You’re about authentic Labour as Ed Miliband. Protect child benefits? If you had it your way you’d send the £ to Poland/Israel"
I think with anti semetic tensions running high in Europe it was not a good choice to use Israel. Perhaps Greece or Portugal would have been better.
UKIP has developed a glass jaw. Which is anathema to their political platform.
YES. never a good thing for a political party!!
Very close between the Cons and Lab, and one should also bear in mind that the UK polls are often quite inaccurate. That's partly due to the "first-past-the-post" system, but there must be other reasons why the polls often miss out.
Anyway, people close to the Conservatives (but not part of the party machinery) appear hopeful and even predict a working majority for Cameron, despite the fact that most of the polls predict a hung parliament or a Labour, SNP majority.
We'll soon see how it turns out
Never ever happen.....most Brits bow to muslims these days.
Its going to be very very close and very interesting. I think the pundits are going to be very surprised. They are already finding it very hard to predict the results, partly because local and regional issues are going to be much more important. Tactical voting is going to be a significant factor too.
Thank you for the update SunkenCiv.
Definitely getting interesting!
Thanks BF. If Labour loses or rather fails to win, Miliband likely will be given the boot from his Labour leadership position; Farage will be finished if he loses his seat in Parliament, with UKIP right behind him irrespective of its election outcomes; Clegg ditto, but the Lib Dems may pick up a few seats; Cameron will form the next gov’t, with whom depends on how well the Tories do.
Coo. A punter in Wales has just backed David Cameron with a £12,000 bet on him remaining Prime Minister by June 1, at odds of 10/11. Coral spokesman Simon Clare says:
"This is the biggest bet we have struck on the Election and was placed by a customer who has bet successfully on politics before."
