General Election - 8th June.

wanderlust wrote:As sluffy eloquently points out "the polls are at best an indicator of current views" - just as the referendum reflected the views of those who voted on one day last year.
However the point is that if the majority of brits currently think we should remain is may taking a risk in trying to make the election about brexit?
It would suggest that the Torres majority could be reduced rather than increased as expected - but I suppose it's a better plan than drawing attention to the tories  disastrous record.

You are either so bitter that your prejudice is effecting your sense or you are a wum.

A poll is an INDICATOR (a sample size) as I've said above of what MIGHT happen, a referendum is a FACTUAL event (an actual voting record of HOW the decision was made).

Poll's can be and are wrong at times, referendums are factual results.

FFS Yougov isn't even connected to the government (despite it's name) it is just a market research company.

You really need to move on with your life over this.

You asked if you'd missed something.
Is that apart from the entire point of what I was saying?

How the hell can I (or anyone else) understand your point when it is complete bollocks!!!?

You've based your whole premise on something you clearly haven't understood!

You claim that "Brexit supporters are 'officially' in the minority"

You base this assertion upon a YouGov poll (as per another thread).

You clearly had NO IDEA whatsoever that YouGov are a privately owned business with NO links at all to Her Majesty's Government.

It is simply a poll that they have undertaken.

Based on a sample size.

And therefore open to error.

Just because YouGov may have asked a couple of blokes in the pub about how they feel about Brexit doesn't make their findings 'official' or even correct!!!

To be fair I don't doubt YouGov have done a professional job but they probably did exactly the same at the time of the referendum along with all the other reputable polling companies - and they all had Remain to win on the day.

They were ALL wrong!

It is NOT 'official' at all that Brexit voters are in the minority, even though a random polling company may say so.

That's why May, Corbyn and everybody else has taken this with a pinch of salt - that is everyone but YOU!

this tit is standing for election in my area - Gorton, can't see him winning 

Diane Abbot has made a tit of herself on LBC this morning.

Not unusual. Only the venue changes.

It takes the heat off Boris for 24 hours.

There's a lot to get through and digest here but it's well worth ploughing through if you give a shit about the notion of liberal democracy and not being manipulated by unseen forces:

Is there an article about fairies at the bottom of the garden as well?

Did you read all that in just 2 minutes?

Wow....I'm impressed.

I read the first few paragraphs, laughed out loud, and went back to making my life size paper mache Theresa May.

Entendre, entendre!

Macron may have got two thirds of the votes cast but it's clear that a lot of people weren't keen on either candidate. More people abstained or spoiled their ballot papers than voted for Le Pen.
Macron's stance on Brexit is that he will negotiate hard but doesn't seek to punish the UK - which I suspect Junckers does.

Junkers pissed on his own candle last weekend. Apparently Merkel is furious with him, as he ensured that more people would vote for the Tories, thus giving them an even stronger mandate when negotiating Brexit.
