The pollsters were wrong! We can quibble in our interpretation of the Erith result,as to whether it indicates the Labour or the Tories would be returned with a tiny majority, but about one thing we can be certains the present policy of the Government is not an electoral success. Mr. Wilson cannot put too much blame on the press: he has had handsome = even generous +. treatment over his handling of Rhodesia, What is lacking is a policy which raise enthusiasm and getsall the potential Labour voters oute Quite clearly such a policy must be anti-capitalist. It is Mr. Wilson who is rocking the boat by embracing Liberalism = except for its best features - not the left.
