Polls show no party will claim UK majority vote
Opinion polls ahead of the UK general elections on May 7 show no party is set to win an overall majority as both leading parties, Labour and Tories, are neck-and-neck with around 30 percent support.
An ICM poll for the Sunday Telegraph newspaper said the Conservatives (Tories) and the opposition Labour Party were level with 32 percent support each. The survey said Labour supporters seemed more optimistic about their party's prospects than the Conservatives.
Another survey conducted by YouGov for the Sunday Times showed 36 percent of voters supporting the Labour Party while 33 percent backed Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservatives.
Cameron's coalition partners, the Liberal Democrats could win around eight percent of the vote in the election and the anti-European Union UK Independence Party had 13 percent supporters, the poll said.
However, another survey by Opinium showed the Conservatives leading against the Labour Party with 36 percent votes compared to Labour's 32 percent.
Now Kevin Ovenden, member of the Respect Party leadership in London believes the latest opinion polls are confirming the last 6 or 7 opinion polls, which show “we are heading to the results on the 7th of May where no parties really win the election.”
“That means there will have to be an attempt to find a coalition government,” Ovenden told Press TV’s UK Desk on Sunday, adding, “This is an indication of just how unpopular the so-called mainstream parties are.”
“The British people deserve better than Labour and the Conservatives... but making that happen is not so straight forward.”
Most opinion polls have shown votes split evenly among UK's two main parties, but a coalition could be imminent, since neither is likely to win an absolute majority in the country's 650-seat parliament.
