Going Blue Oop North

December 22nd, 2007 by ThunderDragon

It seems that Labour’s fortress is under siege:

A blue tide of Conservative support is spreading into Labour’s heartlands, according to new analysis carried out by ICM for the Guardian. The data suggests that David Cameron may be beginning to build an election-winning platform by making progress in the Midlands and the north of England…
The research indicates that Tory support has surged outside its traditional areas of strength in southern England. The party is now hard on Labour’s heels in the north, at 38% against Labour on 40%. (The Guardian)

That’s so not good news for Brown. If even Labour’s heartlands of “the North”, where most of Labour’s Cabinet ministers have their seats, is under serious threat, then the possibility of a meltdown must seem all too likely.

And to a Conservative, this news just brings on a smile.

The future’s bright, the future’s blue.
