Poll endorses devolution
It was hardly a surprise but a BBC opinion poll has found that 50% of those asked want the Assembly to have the powers to make a difference to their lives. The poll also found that those who wanted to abolish the body has halved. Let us hope that sceptics in Labour and the Tories are listening.
By far the most interesting finding of this poll for me was the answer to the question "Whose policies are closest to your own, no matter how you plan to vote?" 33% or one in three of those asked said that they did not know. That is the measure of the task facing the political parties in the forthcoming General Election.
