Every visitor has the option to tick the thumbs up/thumbs down comment rating. I just read both your comments at the same time and saw on the first one, 1+ and 1- vote, neither are mine. I don’t have the time to be rating all the comments, too busy trying to keep up with them all!
And when I post this comment I’ll give you a thumbs up, so if you are still around you’ll see +2 and -1. Like you I can only tick a thumbs up/down once per comment.
Anyway, I don’t know of an accurate polling system. Really the only way to be sure of what the general election result will be is on the day when everyone gets a chance to vote, everything else is subject to manipulation and mistakes.
I recall one of the general elections I was watching on TV where the exit polls suggested a Conservative win, but Labour won easily. I think we can generally agree exit polls have to be one of the more accurate forms of polling, the people polled have at least voted, but in that instance they failed to give an accurate result.
If I recall correctly there was a suggestion voters exiting the polling stations lied, maybe embarrassed at who they voted for. Or maybe Conservative voters when they exit a polling station are more likely to answer a pollster than a Labour voter, who knows.
Polling is seriously flawed, so you can’t go on any poll and assume that WILL certainly be the result of the next general election, take them as a bit of fun and to generate interesting debate.
