Here.
And the last line was a light-hearted jest as indicated by the " " symbol. Do I really have to explain that to you or are you....erm...Tory voters?
I've pointed out to you before (on the Brexit thread itself iirc) that YouGov has nothing to do with being an official government site - it is a PRIVATE INTERNATIONAL business organisation -
https://yougov.co.uk/
The Conservative Government certainly didn't publish these statistics as you claim.
As for how accurate it purports to be, the following link is what it forecast on the very day of the Brexit referendum -

As for your claim of the 'light hearted jest' - non of us believe that, as we have all seen your numerous past posts and what you are capable of stating - particularly on topics that you have strong, unrestrained opinions on such as Brexit.
b) YouGov is a British based project set up and seed-funded by the Conservative Government and founded by a Conservative MP (dodgy that he should have won the contract)
The "international" bit came later as YouGov's success allowed them to make a number of international acquisitions of existing foreign businesses, but it's base and headquarters remain in Britain.
I would add that co-founder Nadhim Zahawi is the current Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Children and Families serving in the current Conservative Government.
1 - People know how crap your reply is when your very first point is quibbling over a typing error and not the content of what was said.
2 - You stated quite clearly that the information was published by the Conservative Government - it was not. It was I that informed YOU that YouGov was a PRIVATE International company!
3 - YouGov was NOT founded by a Conservative MP (although 12 years after its incorporation one of it's co-founders Nadhim Zahawi did become one).
4 - Zahawi however RESIGNED from YouGov BEFORE he stood for Parliament.
