UK Conservatives Five Points Ahead of Labour Week Before Elections - Poll
13:22 GMT 30.04.2015 (Updated: 14:21 GMT 30.04.2015) 35 percent of Brits said that they would vote for the UK Conservative party,while 30 percent would elect Labour, according to a poll by Ipsos MORI.
LONDON (Sputnik) – The UK Conservative party is five points ahead of its main rival Labour a week before the general election in the country, a poll by Ipsos MORI revealed Thursday.
According to a survey conducted for the Evening Standard newspaper, 35 percent of those polled said they would vote for the Tories, while 30 percent would elect Labour.
Last month's Ipsos MORI poll showed a different result, with Labour leading Conservatives by two points.
The race between the two parties has been neck-and-neck in all pre-election polls.
The election is slated for Thursday, May 7, with voters going to the polls to elect 650 lawmakers to the lower house of the British parliament, the House of Commons. No single party is projected to win an outright majority, resulting in forecasts of a hung parliament. This was the case in the last election, leading to a coalition government between the Tories and Liberal Democrats.
