What a low standard of debate has been engendered by this thread!
No one has questioned why such OPINION Polls are published during the run-up to an election ballot? Am I the only one to notice that the BBC has been and is giving tremendous prominence to the Conservative and Labour candidates, slightly less to the Lib Dems' and virtually NOTHING to the others!
These opinion polls serve to maintain the status quo; the merits and deficiencies of alternative candidates are left uncovered.
If opinion polls are so important, why bother to have a ballot at all? Heaven knows that the Labour Government has done all it can to give away as many votes as possible whilst destroying the integrity of the system thus allowing others to create even more bogus votes! Instead, we could have YouGov conduct an opinion poll on 1st of May in each constituency and tell us the result on 2nd May!
There is a strong case for banning opinion polling in the months leading up to an election! They further distort and corrupt our political system in an unaccountable way using unaccountable methods. Because of that, this thread is mischievous, damaging to English nationalism by the squabbling it has encouraged, and aided the anti-England brigade!
