The Greens are about to be 'squeezed' - there is nowhere else that Labour and the europhile Liberal Dims (both doing badly in the opinion polls - including the one out today) can get the extra votes from they need to in order to recover electorally (apart from a few votes from other parties).

There is no way the pro-EU Greens are going to get 3% of the national vote at the next General Election whatever this opinion poll out today suggests.

There is now a good chance the Liberal Dims will try to get votes from the Greens but lose many others to Labour (as anti-Iraq 'war' protest voters return to their former Labour 'home').
