They will put a brave face on at conference but they all know it must be the last conference they will have whilst being in power.
When the Labour vote in Scotland mirrors that in England (26-28%) then you ken they are in deep trouble. (Westminster polls)
They might get up to 30% just after the conference but i think it might be disgruntled Lib Dem voters nick picking over who to vote for.
The real test will come after Cameron's speech at his conference, then i expect to see the gap widening again.
People just want change.
