London, March 16 (RHC)-- An opinion poll reveals the UK Labour party has edged past the ruling Conservatives ahead of the May the 7th general election. The joint ‘Opinium/Observer’ survey shows Ed Miliband’s party gaining ground, with Lib Dems down one point and Ukip unchanged on 14 percent.

A week ago, the two main parties were neck and neck on 34%, as the Tories appeared to be gaining ground in most opinion surveys. But according to the latest Opinium poll, Labour is up one point, on 35%, while the Tories are down one on 33%.

There is little movement from the other parties, with Ukip unchanged on 14%, the Greens stuck on 7%, the Lib Dems down one point on 7% and the SNP also unchanged on 3%, the Guardian reported.
