Mega-poll points to Tory majoity of 70 – with gains from LibDems in the south
October 3rd, 2009 Posted in UK Politics by Mark Littlewood
Today’s huge poll from Politics Home points to Cameron securing a majority of 70 (down from the 146 majority predicted by a similar poll last year).
LibDems would lose a number of seats to the Tories in the south and south west, but hold our own in the rest of the country.

There isn’t a “South” in electoral regions. There’s a South-East (where we hold Lewes, only), and a South-West where we’re strong. Norman Baker has a majority of 8,000 in Lewes and a strong personal vote.

Well, clearly there is a south – it’s just split into different parts. The poll included Hampshire in the south west, which is a bit odd. So, “south” was a perfectly sensible and understandable shorthand.
