Some billionaires buy football teams, former Tory Treasurer Lord Ashcroft buys opinion polls.

Last month he sampled at least a thousand people in 16 Labour and Lib-Dem held Scottish constituencies – and his findings suggest the SNP could take all but one.

These are just polls, there’s three months to go until the actual General Election vote.
