Late on Tuesday evening, I attended the Labour Party's 1000 Club event which examined in part the Romney v Obama narrative which was then compared to the Cameron v Miliband narrative where the latter's concerns about the cost of living has become centre stage.
Romney was a dozen points ahead of Obama in the polls one year away from the Presidential elections but in the end was routed.
The polls have the Tories and Labour sometimes close and sometimes with a lead for Labour with 19 months to go for the next election. It will be interesting to see if the Tories depart from their narrative of more public sector cuts, immigration and being anti Europe.
