Liberals in the lead? - we're not in Kansas any more...

Politicshome has a new BPIX poll for the Mail on Sunday, and it makes for shocking reading:

Lib Dems 32% (+12)
Conservatives 31% (-7)
Labour 28% (-3)

I'm not sure what it will do to seat counts, or even UNS, but it's sure to set some nerves jangling this evening at Conservative and Labour HQs regardless of the fact that BPIX isn't a member of the UK polling council.

So, is it still a blip after the debate on Thursday? Or is this now a trend? The next couple of days will tell us more, but I will say one thing: John Cleese once said in a PPB for the Liberals that half of voters would vote yellow if they genuinely thought the party could win. Could it be that the Liberal Democrats are now finally being seen as a real alternative?

UPDATE: John Cleese video...
