The Cameron Bounce

Back to where the polls were a month ago.

No longer are they predicting a three-figure Labour majority. Oh, no. Oh no, indeed. Now, they are once again predicting a Labour majority of a mere 90. Tragically, yet comically, that really does count as a triumph by the standards of David Cameron.

For Eastbourne in October 1990, read Corby in November 2012. In the first case, the Prime Minister of the day was gone by the end of the following month. But does the Conservative Party still have that once-legendary survival instinct? We shall very soon find out.
