And remember, we cant rely on the polls, as we have learned in previous elections. will give you that about the poles but if you are moving further towards the left and there are fewer people in support of you, i have never seen the kind of campaigns we have been running ever before the election so i think there is a lot of enemies of the party. It doesnt mean
