If the ComRes poll was replicated in seats for the House of Commons, the BBC predicts the result would be - Con 30% (198 seats), Lab 30% (304 seats), Lib Dem 33% (119 seats). In my book, that's a recipe for disaster after the election, especially if Gordon Brown did a deal with those holding some of the 29 remaining seats.
Even if the Tories and Lib Dems put their combined share of the vote together, at 60%, they could still only muster 317 seats. That's 9 short of a majority.
No wonder Gordon Brown's new smile is outdoing the Cheshire cat's!
