The official campaign website.
By contrast, wholly predictable Political Class drivel from Steve "All Politicians Are Saints" Richards (well, except Davis, of course).
Apparently, it's all to do with opinion polls. Have you ever had your opinion polled? Has anyone you know? Thought not. And then consider that most polling is now done by telephone. In other words, the pollsters know whom they are questioning.

ReplyDeleteYes, and yes.
Point proved.
ReplyDeleteHardly, since you have no idea who I am, where I live and which way I vote.
ReplyDeleteBut the opinion pollsters do. That's why they ever troubled you. You should count yourself very lucky. Not only to have been polled, but also to know someone else who has been, puts you in very select company indeed.
ReplyDeleteI suspect that had people answered "no", David would also have said "point proved". Because then, of course, you would be a 'normal' person, and ignored.

ReplyDeleteActually, I've never voted for the same party twice in a general election, and I have no idea which way I'm going to vote in 2010 (the only certainty being that it won't be for a party whose name begins with the word 'British').
So if the pollsters do know my voting intentions, they must not only be psychic but have remarkable powers to influence the future.
They know that you are a swing voter.
ReplyDeleteWon't vote for a party with the word "British" in its name? Says it all - you certainly have a wealth of anti-British parties to choose from.
Incidentally, you must be either very young or (as does not appear to be the case) very apathetic if you have never voted for the same party twice.

ReplyDeleteHow, since I've only been polled once?

I've voted for five different parties in five general elections - what's so hard to believe about that?
After an Independent candidate last time cribbed much of his election address (word for word in many cases) from my previously published letters to the local free paper, I felt it only polite to vote for him. He kept his deposit, and took more votes than the reduction in the sitting Labour MP's majority.
