Behind a frozen stream there is one large brick building that looks a little out of place. Inside are hundreds of rows of jars exuding an unpleasant smell.

"We'll stick it out," she said of Britain's current economic difficulties, "if we have a picture that is so strong we can smell it." Mixed metaphors aside, pollsters shouldn't write her off just yet. In an age when people will pay to vote for aspiring pop stars more readily than they'll travel to the voting booths, the jury on the Jury Team is still...
