Labour in third place behind UKIP and the Tories, for the first time
Now curious to learn the over/under on "British" Establishment political parties banning their opposition before it has the chance to take office. A Committee on Public Security should do the trick.
The overall general election standings put the Conservatives on 41 per cent, up two percentage points since the Populus poll this month, Labour on 21 per cent – down five points – and the Liberal Democrats on 15 per cent, down seven points. But a different picture emerges when people were asked how they will vote on Thursday.
The Conservatives drop four points to 30 per cent, compared with the poll three weeks ago. Labour drops nine points to 16 per cent, and the Liberal Democrats fall eight points to 12 per cent. UKIP are the beneficiaries, rising 13 points to 19 per cent, ahead of Labour and the Liberal Democrats. The Greens rise to 10 per cent, and the BNP is up three points at 5 per cent.

Related: Niall Ferguson offers boring comparisons with 1830 and in so doing completely misses the point. It's not the economy, stupid.
