The Sunday Times YouGov Poll today puts the Conservatives Opinion Poll lead at 6%  That is heading towards hung Parliament territory.  Some Tories have even started to privately start to wonder if the impossible is possible and Labour sneak back in. 

Now is not the time for faint hearts and weak minds.

Now is not the time to talk of hung Parliaments and cozying up to the Lib Dems.

Now IS the time for quiet optimism and strong focus and for the waverers to cut their friendly fire sniping.

Yes, poll leads go up and down.  That is the inevitability of a fickle electorate, affected by the daily news agenda.  Some commentators attribute the Piers Morgan and Gordon Brown love-in interview as helping show the human side of Gordon.  Something the public has allegedly responded to.  But current polls need not create concern or panic.

A message to some of the wavering Tory grassroots.  We are not into the central election campaign yet.  We are in a period of noisy chitter chatter that scores points but does not influence the hearts and minds of the electorate.

Once we get the true election date, then is the time for the sprint to the finish.  Then is the time for Conservatives to reveal more policy flesh and details, (not now when Labour can take the best ideas and use them for themselves…as we know they would do).  Only then, is the time for the really punishing messages of Labour incompetence and how they have truly decimated this great nation of ours.  How they have indebted every family in this country.  That’s their idea of fairness and equality….we all owe effectively £26,000 per household in national debt.  The heavy hitting messages are ready….now is not the time to land heavy blows.  It is all about momentum.  Pickles & Cameron have that in mind.  When you run a marathon you pace yourselves, so you can sprint to the finish.  Conservatives are on track.  The energy for a srpint is well and truly there.

It really feels like, on many fronts, the Conservatives are holding back.  Pulling their punches.  In some ways just toying with Gordon.  Goding him.  Of course the key balance has been that the last thing we would have wanted was for Gordon Brown to have gone, pre the election.  We would not have wanted to fight Labour led by Miliband or Johnson.  In some ways, in those days when Brown was most vulnerable, at PMQ’s, Cameron held off battering him.  In some ways, cameron deserves credit for not killing off gordon and keeping him alive for this election campaign….anyone ever thought that?

Once the campaign starts the truly stark picture can be painted.  Yes Gordon the voters should have a ’second look’ at Labour’s record.  I am sure Cameron will encourage people to have a third, fourth and fifth look at their shambolic record in Government.  And no-one can come to any conclusion but after 13 years they have been a morally & financially bankrupt government. 

I relish the opportunity to see Gordon Brown and David Cameron in the huge TV election debates.  The electorate will see in Cameron a man with a vision for this country and conversely, Gordon Brown, a dour man, with a furious temper, with an empty basket of policies. 

So wavering Tories.  Don’t lose heart.  Keep the faith.  When the election cry is sounded.  Then is the time that Conservatives will again see their poll ratings grow.  Leading to the most important of polls….general Election day.

 The best is yet to come……
