Surveys Indicate Labor Gaining More Votes For Britain’s May 8 Election

Surveys indicate that Britain’s Labor Party will likely win the May general election, which Prime Minister Gordon Brown will ask Queen Elizabeth on Tuesday to call for polls on May 8.

The basis for such a forecast, despite the many scandals that has hit the Labor Party, is the four percent increase in voting intent for Labor, while the Conservative Party logged a one percent decrease in voting intent. Even the Liberal Democrats registered a two percent decline.

According to the latest ICM Research poll, Labor got a voting intent of 33 percent, the Tories 37 percent and the Liberal Democrats 21 percent. The four-point difference between Labor and Tories is the closest in two years of pre-election surveys made by ICM. Previous ICM polls said Labor got 31 percent, the Tories 41 percent and the Liberal Democrats 18 percent.
