General election: Which party is winning the campaign so far?
Sean O'Grady looks at the parties’ fortunes and marks their progress in the battle for No 10
Despite high-profile resignations, plenty of campaign missteps and questions about policy, all major parties are still on the election bandwagon as the 12 December poll approaches. But can any of them say they’re really winning?
Conservatives 3/5
The Tory campaign has, thus far, been a series of gaffes, made-up stories about Labour and a leader showing himself as careless about the truth as he is about, well, just about everything he touches. He’s been booed, ridiculed and heckled – but, well, so what? None of that has cramped his style or prevented the Conservatives from maintaining a poll lead over Labour of 10 or more percentage points. They are the bookies’ favourites to be the largest party, and possibly win a working majority.
