It must be confusing if you are a Green candidate in the parliamentary elections. Having finished your (organic) boiled egg this morning, you turn to The Sunday Times where the polls confidently predict that your party will only secure two seats. Despondency sets in.
But then your attention is drawn to The Mail on Sunday poll. Joy, oh joy: they are predicting - equally confidently - that the Greens will secure eleven seats.
What to make of this? I suspect that the polls are utterly hopeless at predicting how the smaller parties will fare a week on Thursday. And, if they can't predict the little parties, can they be trusted with the larger parties? Only up to a point...
All to play for, lads and lasses.
