OCTOBER'S I.C.s - CAROLYN QUINN

*
Long before embarking on this survey, I thought Carolyn Quinn (of Westminster Hour and PM) was a particularly biased BBC interviewer. October's clear-cut results reveal a good deal of such left-wing bias:

04/10 Douglas Carswell Conservative 1.9
05/10 Eric Pickles Conservative 1.5
17/10 Angus Robertson SNP 1.4
06/10 Ken Clarke Conservative 1.1
07/10 Chris Grayling Conservative 1
11/10 Tom Harris Labour 0.7
18/10 Pete Wishart SNP 0.6
25/10 Paul Holmes Lib Dem 0.4
11/10 Ed Vazey Conservative 0.4
18/10 John Mann Labour 0.4
16/10 Baroness Uddin Labour 0.4
04/10 Evan Harris Lib Dem 0.4
17/10 Nick Harvey Lib Dem 0.3
18/10 Mark Field Conservative 0.3
16/10 Vernon Coaker Labour 0.3
25/10 Denis MacShane Labour 0.3
04/10 Emily Thornberry Labour 0.3
16/10 David Miliband Labour 0.2
25/10 Roger Helmer Conservative 0.2
09/10 John Hutton Labour 0.2
28/10 Diana Wallis Lib Dem 0
04/10 Chris Grayling Conservative 0
05/10 Roger Helmer Conservative 0
02/10 Ken Livingstone Labour 0
08/10 George Osborne Conservative 0
11/10 Norman Baker Lib Dem 0
28/10 Angus Robertson SNP 0
*
No less clear-cut are her monthly averages for October:
*
SNP - 0.67
Conservatives - 0.64
Labour - 0.31
Lib Dems - 0.22

This is no aberration, as the super-averages from all 92 of Carolyn's interviews since June prove:
*
SNP (3) - 0.67
Conservatives (29) - 0.63
Green (1) - 0.5
Labour (40) - 0.36
Lib Dems (19) - 0.33
*
I think a 'guilty as charged' verdict is inescapable here.
