Tories rate lowest —poll
NZPA-AFP London The popularity of the Conservative Party Government in Britain is at its lowest ebb for more than three years, according to two opinion polls in “The Sunday Times,” London. The Opposition Labour Party is surging ahead. A parliamentary by-elec-tion is due on Thursday in the Welsh constituency of Brecon and Readnor, which the Tories carried with 48 per cent of the vote in their landslide General Election victory in 1983. But a M.0.R.1. Institute poll there now puts the governing party trailing in third place at 24 per cent. The Labour candidate there is forecast to win with 44 per cent, well in front of the Liberal-Social Democrat Alliance at 30 per cent.
