Pretty much 1992 over again (although back then the polls turned a few days before the Election).

Did folk like then, or are they flawed?

A Tory majority was 9/1 even after 10pm.

People lie just to fuck them up.

Some people just like talking to salesmen

My gut feeling is they've been wrong for some time. I'm not convinced a load of voters switched at the last minute out of fear of the SNP. The fact they got it wrong means they are flawed/useless. I suspect the people running the campaigns had some idea the polls we were seeing were likley wrong.

Of course they're flawed, much like the amount of people that are already in the RAC when the bloke at the supermarket is there with his little table people tend to bend the truth a little sometimes when it's unimportant.

I don't. They're last on my list. The bunch of bullshitting cunts.

But people are people

Everything counts in these surveys, but can pollsters get the balance right when voters don't have a policy of truth? I hope they never let me down again.

Well in a devastated d&d I'm happy to simply enjoy the silence

It's just a question of time before someone gets behind the wheel and cleans up.
