FFS, GIVE IT A REST! :nono: The polling companies do not care who wins, just in who produces the most accurate result! Political polls are just a fraction of their business - they make their main money from wider market research, and accuracy is what counts.

I've gone through polls for each company 2017-2019, calculating an average result and Tory lead/deficit, and this is what I've come up with... (-ve is Lab lead) Survation -0.71 ComRes 0.70 BMG 0.79 ICM 0.91 Ipsos Mori 1.85 Opinium 2.13 Panelbase 2.50 YouGov 3.97 Kantar TNS 4.06 Deltapoll 4.21 As you can see, Survation is most favourable to Labour over the period, while Deltapoll are the least. Presumably this is mainly due to differing methodologies. :unsure:

So, slightly to the right of Corbyn then... :teresa:

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/n...ata-on-leaflets Yet people claim here that only the Tories lie and manipulate...

Yet another fringe site you had to search for, to find one that says what you're wanting to say...

Probably #82

Imagine the leftist meltdown if he *was*... :rofl:

Because, unless it is proven otherwise, I think the rumours about Trump have been exaggerated.

Why do you even care so much - you don't live in America...

V2 : YTD Sales : Please read these guidelines before you request sales estimates, it makes my task a lot easier. 1. Be specific - please name the artist and title for each entry you'd like an estimate for. 2. I log sales for all albums that have charted this year, but only update those that have sold enough to reach my 200 position tracking range 3. If an album isn't in the current Top 100, I won't be able to update its sales until Tues. Also, please don't ask about ex-T100 albums too often - once a month at most) 4. Remember to check the thread before requesting estimates - they may already have been answered. Also, no more than half-a-dozen requests at a time, thanks. 5. Please note my figures are combined sales & streams, and since I have no way of separating them, I cannot provide a split. 6. While I am no longer estimating singles sales, I can provide YTD singles positions from C+, and I am still maintaining my sales archive based on published figures (PM me if you want to see it) Thank you.

Very droll. I live on the outskirts of Cheltenham, in a ward that falls into the Tewkesbury constituency.

Brainwashing only works when every source of info is controlled by the state - that is definately not the case here. BTW, have you ever paused to wonder how you became convinced that COrbyn is so great? :teresa:

Now that nominations are closed, we can finally see our choices. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/n...l-election-2019 In Tewkesbury : Con, Lab, LD & Green. In Cheltenham : Con, Lab, LD & MRLP. This time the LD's candidate is not former MP Martin Horwood - I wonder if that'll make a difference?

Sorry, noted. This is purely a hypothetical question, as you can hardly force newspapers to adopt a more neutral stance! But to answer it anyway, I don't think it would make as much difference as you might suppose, unless you subscribe to Michael's 'brainwashing' idea. :rolleyes: IMO most people are capable of seeing which side their bread is buttered on, and voting accordingly.

ISTM most people who want Broadband have already got it, and most of the rest will be elderly and/or technophobes - also, one based on BT would be slower than what I have now anyway...

You didn't specify printed press.

True - but it's hardly satisfactory *now* either - with both sides accusing the other of bias...

But who is to be the arbiter of balance? :unsure:

That's a little harsh. :blink:

Well, a decent working majority might help. :unsure: They make an amusing spectacle on election night, but otherwise they are just pointless. Not necessarily - they might have met in her country, rather than here.

If only your opinion was worth votes... :lol: You mean, one that put down the Tories & praised Labour? :unsure: And there's your invocation of Godwin's Law...

I wonder what would happen if no polls were allowed to be published during election campaigns? :thinking:

Whether it is or not will be decided on Dec 12th.

Is that a rhetorical question?
