Green Party Surges Past Lib Dems In Latest Poll
The Greens have overtaken the Liberal Democrats for the first time in a decade, in the latest poll which is certain to fuel calls for the party to be included in TV debates.
Research for Conservative peer Lord Ashcroft put the party on a new high of 8% - up three points - and just ahead of the Lib Dems on 7%.
The survey gave Labour a three-point lead over the Tories, 31% to 28%, with Ukip on 18%.
The data suggests an astonishing number of young people, 28% of 18-24 year olds, are planning to vote Green, though the poll only surveyed around 1,000 people.

Woohoo! Now they have more right to a place on the TV debates than the Lib Dems.
