70% say Labour not ready to govern

Reuters report that an Ipsos MORI poll shows Conservative support has fallen slightly but that most people do not believe the Labour opposition is ready to govern.

A telephone poll of 1,008 adults aged 18+ between 2-24 May indicates that people blame Labour for the country's economic woes. Ed Miliband’s party however is up two points from last month on 42 percent. Support for the Conservatives fell five points to 35 percent of those who plan to vote. Backing for the Liberal Democrats rose one point to 10 percent.

Only three in ten of those polled thought that Labour was ready to form a government a year after losing power.

An Ipsos MORI spokesperson said, “We're seeing a slight decrease in the Conservative vote share this month compared to last month but that's not translating into a boost for Labour in any other ways.

"Cameron is still ahead on leadership ratings. The coalition is seen as divided on some issues but retains a united front on the key issue of the economy. There's no clear benefit for Labour nor crisis for the coalition."
