Gordon Brown and the Polls

Guardian: An interesting blog post on Gordon Brown’s pollster in the guardian, on how Gordon Brown dealt with poll findings. In essence any aspiring politician should do the reverse of Gordon Brown, but it does have an interesting comment on Labour supporters in the 1980s, it seems they were “… all a bit weird…” As a life long Conservative supporter it did not take a pollster to tell me that Labour voters and supporters had the above profile, they elected Mr Foot as leader, he lead the Party to its worse election result in living memory. I would have replaced weird with out and out nuts, in need of prozac.
