Dear Nick Robinson…

Dear Nick,

Sorry to be boring and quote things like numbers and evidence.

But on the 10pm news you said, “I think both sides agree the Tories have won the politics of the first week”.

I’d have thought the public should get a look in on this and you know what the public’s verdict is?

By a slim lead (within the margin of error, to be fair) the public says that the Liberal Democrats have run the most impressive campaign so far (see http://ukpollingreport.co.uk/blog/archives/2566).

Makes the idea that the Tories have won the politics look a bit different, I’d have thought?

Yours,

One of those horrible people who read numbers and comment online

    instructive that he said “both sides”…

    Indeed, Euonym. “Both sides” agree on 95% of things; why are we surprised that they agree on this?

    Mr Robinson is, of course, a former Tory Party activist.

    He is also entrenched at the heart of the Westminster Bubble. In fact he provides a lot of the exhalations that form the bubbles!
