Global equality, knickers, and handpuppets

Westmonster is currently watching the bloke from YouGov trying to explain to whichever fruity blonde is doing the morning slot on News 24 that the results from yesterday's council by-elections cannot be extrapolated to give the Tories a lead, should a general election be called tomorrow. The poor pollster has tried three times to get it over that even these results are better for Labour than the ones that were coming in the pre-2005 election period, that the voting psychology differs in locals and generals, but she just ain't getting it. Time for round four and the handpuppets, methinks.
