Title: Final election poll
Post by: macdanger2 on February 25, 2016, 10:59:46 AM
So all the spin has been spun and all the promises made, who will you be voting for?

Despite their candidate being so-so at best, I'll be voting Green party. Yes, they were useless in govt but I think climate change is going to be a huge problem in the coming decades and I'd like to have a Green voice in govt.

They just can't help themselves, it's in their programming. Nothing more than a cult.

I missed the guy doing the exit poll by a whisker this morning. He chose a senior citizen departing the polling station at the same time.

Maybe there were some spare voting cards found on doormats or something.

I have a voting card for my late grandmother at home. Given she voted several times for SF in the 1918 election, I might feel compelled to honour her memory by doing the same. Yes, compelled . . .

The revolution is here. You have the honour of putting Shinners and (S)Indo hacks against the wall. Who do you shoot first?

For those who have not fallen asleep, the answer is: the Shinners. This is because you must always put duty before pleasure.

From the soundings in my work place I would safely say that 90% of people are going for FG / Lab.

I get a feeling we could be in for a result that will go entirely against the poll information.

I would say it will be FG/Lab and Renua as the make up of the next Gov.

Could be. The 'shy Tory' vote in the UK last year makes polls irrelevant to be honest.

Opinion polls really must be taken with a large dollop of salt. The margin of error is 4% which is gigantic.

If the IT exit poll is correct, then PP will still have their money.

Workplace polls wouldn't be the most reliable as most people would tend to be in the same sort of social group.
