What’s the best way to model the Lib Dem surge? This has been an election campaign like no other, with the PM contender debates dominating coverage. While the Lib Dems have usually increased their showing in the polls over the course of a campaign, the double-digit increases are unprecedented in such a short period at such a crucial time.

Not only are they less likely to vote than working class men of the same age but they are also much less likely to have any political allegiance. But how do you get to them? In…
Should punters wait for post-debate polls? There’s been a sharp movement back to a Tory majority on the overall outcome markets following last night’s debate.
