Can someone come up with a better name for this thread? It really annoys me.

In a very forward looking forward and all encompassing society, I have paid £30,000 whereby a research company has decided that 'Devolution Matters' is the name for the 21st Century that reflects Britain's diverse nature.

Therefore I have rebranded the thread. Subsequent discussion as to the cost of this rebrand should be made via the Daily Mail comments section.

I agree.

Devolution does matter.

ICM for the Sun
Constituency: CON 12%, LAB 39%, LDEM 10%, SNP 35%
Regional: CON 13%, LAB 37%, LDEM 9%, SNP 34%

This roughly translates as : Labour 57 seats (+11), SNP 45 seats (-2), Tories 14 (-3), Lib Dems 10 (-6) and Greens 2 (no change).

YouGov
Constituency: CON 10%, LAB 41%, LDEM 6%, SNP 38%
Regional: CON 11%, LAB 39%, LDEM 6%, SNP 32%, GRN 5%

Again, this translates as 61 seats for Labour, 47 seats for the SNP, 12 for the Tories, 5 for the Liberal Democrats and 3 for the Greens.

It concerns me that there is so little between the two. When is the election for London Mayor?

Incidentally in the same poll, London-wide voting intentions for a general election scenario are as follows:
CON 31% | LAB 48% | LDEM 9%

Two posts up in fact.

Incidentally the usage of the LRT roundel as representative graphic for London was as a result of me not finding an adequate icon-sized image of either the flag of the city of London, the logo of Thames, or the LWT logo.
