What else is new?

After all, pretty much the only thing you can say about polls over that last couple of years is that they've been, almost without exception, wrong!

Labour landslide then.

I would agree

I've never been approached by a "pollster" but if i was, i'd tell them the exact opposite of how i voted

1) For the hell of it

and

2) Because it's none of their fucking business.

So much money being spent on bullshit politic's, when at the end of it, it will be the same greedy fuckers that will be in charge. Theresa May, Thatcher in another guize. At least this one doesnt have repulsive offsprings to carry on the evil line

So that's where they've been going wrong, then?
All they need to do, then, is state the opposite of what they are told when carrying out the survey, and they'd be spot on!

But, yeah, +1.

She thinks she's the second coming of Thatcher, she's not. "The lady's not for turning" anyone? Turns out this one is.

Even putting policies and left/right stuff to one side, if she's flip-flopping that easily now, what else will she do that with? I fail to see how any die-hard Tory voter could possibly think she's the strong and stable leader she and the media claim her to be.

As much of a shambles Labour is, I'd rather have someone as principled as Jeremy Corbyn, someone who actually gives a shit, than Theresa May.

Talking about Pollsters, I seem to recall that one of the (many!) recent excuses for their failure is that 'polls are not a prediction, they're only a snapshot'!
I wonder if that's how they promote them to those who commission (and therefore pay for) them?

Theresa ''I'll turn if and when I want to' May!
or
Theresa 'My word is not my bond' May.
or
Theresa 'Lying hypocrite' May.
or...

The EU referendum happened because of the interests of the Tory party, whereas the snap election is happening because... , ooh, hang on a minute!
