Labour's death march

It would be interesting if a line for the Tory poll rating from 1987-1992 was also added. That would show the recovery they had from early 1990 to late 1990 when Thatcher was replaced by Major

Even Moonbat things Labour deserves to lose, I doubt for the same reasons as you.

Labour seem to be following the 1990s Conservative play-book to the letter.
First they attack the say that Cameron is a chameleon and doesn't stand for anything - just as Conservatives tried to say about Blair in 1994.
Once it becomes clear that the message that this is back-firing by reinforcing the message that the new party leader is different to what went before. At that point, the strategy switches to saying that the leader might have changed but it's the same old party behind him (cf the "Demon Eyes" poster campaign).
Even the focus on public school backgrounds mirrors the (short-lived) attempt to make Blair's education an issue.
They also fail to understand that constant references back to Black Wednesday sixteen years later are about as effective as Conservative attempts to scare voters off Blair in 1997 by invoking the memory of the Winter of Discontent.
Like the Bourbons, they have learnt nothing and forgotten nothing.
