EXCLUSIVE: Labour Party tells YouGov to stop including it in polls

In a shock move today, the Labour Party has announced that it has written to YouGov advising them that they no longer wish to be included in its polls because they consider them biased. They have also demanded that they be removed from all polls currently published as they believe association with the poll will lower their excellent reputation with the public. They have also made clear that YouGov use their polls maliciously to get at Labour.

A spokesman for the Labour Party said "YouGov was set up by a Tory, it's clearly biased against us, and this is why we poll poorly with them. We no longer wish to be associated with this pollster and have requested that they stop including opinion on us in their research. We do not consider them even-handed and every time they include the party in results it damages our excellent record and reputation. They diddle their results just to have one over on us."

As Hull's premier blogger and proud of my non-aligned status, I was rather disappointed not to feature in Iain Dale's published top 20 list of non-aligned blogs. Obviously, a tory bias at play here. Leaving that aside, I note that Iain Dale offers a button for those who it applies to. However, the button is for the top 50 non-aligned blogs. Shouldn't the remaining 30 be published so that it gives an indication whether one falls into that category 21-50?

Labour may be forced to take legal action if Yougov do not remove them from their voter choices.
