We all know that people say one thing in polls and do another in the privacy of the ballot box. It'll be a Tory landslide.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
May is like the real life Nicola Murray, but comprehensively less likable.
I could see someone running with the same manifesto as Farron but having more of Clegg style doing quite well with sort voters Cameron brought into the tory party.
But yeah there's no chance they are getting my vote.
YouGov have got balls anyway - because no-one else is that close. Polls are so split you have to think at least one will have it's reputation tanked.
Friday
May dodging it was always going to hurt her to a degree but probably not as much as her showing up and looking like the twat she is.
Any real winner based on what was actually seen tonight?
That BritainElects polls has it getting very close.
Was just on their website. That is very close. I want to see the polls which take into account tonight and Friday. I'm wary of Yougov's model.
I never understood that, aren't the polls anonymous?
I'm not a phone, or the inventor of auto correct spelling on phones, so that is a relief. ffs
People always forget the shy Tory factor. Folks don't like admitting they're cnuts to strangers.
Yes
I'm not a phone, or the inventor of auto correct spelling on phones, so that is a relief. ffs
and why should I believe you?
yeah the right wing always does better on election day then it does in polls
But on a online poll where people vote anonymously? I don't understand why they would lie?Not sure, but the polls before the last election had it close (neck and neck?) and the Tories romped it. Besides, most Tory voters are elderly and won't be doing polls or on social media.
It would be somewhat phoney of me.
Any online poll will be biased towards Labour as younger people tend to favour them whereas most Tory voters wouldn't even be online.
Lucas, Farron and Robertson came out of it best. Lucas was probably the outright winner, but it's hard to see how that will really matter: another Green seat maybe? On a national level no, not really.
Hopefully the polling companies have learnt their lesson on this one.
They probably don't like admitting their cnuts to themselves either. Or to a non-sentient web domain.
Thornberry is class.
She did a panel a last year when the nightclub Fabric closed(It's back opened again luckily)and the whole panel and audience which mostly included DJs and young people were rightly slagging off the local residents for complaining about noise and Thornberry actually stood for the local residents and made a rather strong argument. Really impressive and not something you would expected of a politician.
Polls are weighted, if there's 900 younger voters and 100 older ones, they don't count for 90% of the poll.
I do hope so. It'd stop Caroline Lucas repeatedly sending guilt trippy emails to me complaining that she's lonely.
4G or not 4G that is the question
you got to say that if the conservatives win the election, considering their leader is beyond unlikable, has basically no policies and changes her mind every 5 seconds, and has basically avoided answering any questions...... then their is something fundamentally wrong with the British people
Talk about a partisan audience, pretty much 100% pro-Labour. And I thought the BBC were supposed to be anti Corbyn
I'd argue that Labour voters appear more vocal because they're not ashamed of themselves, who they vote for and what they stand for.
We know this is true though.
Pollsters problems last time weren't about people lying about who they were voting for, it was how representative their samples were (or weren't). They were getting too many politically active younger people in particular.
Not when the mass-media have convinced them that what you said describes the Labour leader.
yeah fair point........
It wasn't just in reference to tonight's show, it was more about how politicians in general conduct themselves. Nothing wrong with being passionate and wanting to get your point across but when you don't even have the decency and respect to let the other person finish their response, or constantly resort to quite frankly immature and tedious remarks, sorry but I find myself switching off.
fecking hell I'd only just got home from a festival when it was starting, that's only a 10 minute walk from me and I didn't even realise it was happening
Fair enough. PMQs is one of the most off putting things around.
I drunkenly signed up to the Lib Dem mailing list whilst pissed off (and pissed) last year and keep getting emails entitled: 'Can we count on you?' and the weirdly needy 'Hi it's Tim, I hope I make you proud tonight'.
I don't have the heart to tell that Email subject line that they can't count on me.
Just started watching now. I'd forgotten how boring Leanne Wood's voice is. Oh, and where's Sturgeon?
I take it this is a joke in poor taste, I'd like to know.
Preparing the troops. Err...I mean, campaigning.
My constituency is their no. 1 target and they've got no chance, imo. I just wish they'd picked somewhere else. Would like to see them take another seat or two.
Guess Angus is the SNP Westminster leader?
