Well it falls on a Thursday this year so most people will probably be out anyway for work apart from the unemployed and the elderly.

Apparently owing to the cost of the football sky news is set to have a pounding on the budget. Ironically the staff are calling a meeting this week, Does that mean strike action?
![]() they have overdone the EM hammering so much I think people have just switched off. I do think the non stop SNP warnings will hurt but also if former voters see the SNP getting smug that could backfire big time. Wee Eck as gone quiet again its been hilarious seeing the libdems acting like the Guardians and Democracy they still don't even know if Clegg will keep his seat yet talking like everyone loves them, The tories look set to clean them out in the west country |

That explains a lot but strangely isn't something his papers or media outlets tend to draw attention to very much at all....

Its probably in the SNPs best interests to keep Salmond out of the way. Its certainly better for Labour if he isn't all over the news. He isn't liked in England whereas Sturgeon at least seems to have been embraced.
they didn't expect Sturgeon to be liked |

It seems The Sun has started whining about it: https://twitter.com/dylsharpe/status/591478871934906370
Given SKYs Kay Burleys unprofessional bias during the TV debate they've only got themselves to blame. |

Speaking of Sky, hope we get a repeat of this

Yougov is the one I trust most. It usually is always the most accurate and they put their whole reputation on the line by predicting the Scottish Referendum outcome almost to the exact same % as the final result.

Opinium Poll for The Observer
In the new poll, the Tories were down three points on 34%, to Labour's 33% (up one), with UKIP on 13% (unchanged), Liberal Democrats on 9% (up one) and Greens on 6% (up one). A separate survey carried out by YouGov for The Times suggested Labour's campaign was having more effect than the Tories'. Some 17% said they had seen something in recent days to make them feel more positive about Labour, while 17% said they had seen something negative. When asked about the Tories, 13% said they had seen something to make them more positive about the party and 25% negative. Asked who was running the best campaign, 26% of the 1,094 people questioned on Friday named the Scottish National Party, 17% Labour, 14% Conservatives, 9% UKIP - and just 2% the Liberal Democrats and Greens. Meanwhile, polling of six marginal seats by former Tory treasurer Lord Ashcroft suggests the Conservatives are on track to seize back the Kent constituency of Rochester & Strood, which they lost to UKIP following the defection of MP Mark Reckless last year. |
