I have to admit I'm utterly bored of all this grammar school business. This morning's Daily Mail has commissioned a poll leading to the headline "Voters tell Cameron: We DO want grammars". When you look at the poll data on the page, it's certainly true that respondants did agree in majority with the statement that some people say there should be a grammar school in every town.
However, when asked what influence a party pledging the policy would have on their voting intention the majority said it wouldn't make a difference. This suggests that, far from voters wanting grammar schools, they're actually quite indifferent to them. This doesn't surprise me because what's important is to make all schools worth going too.
