I wouldn't bother paying any attention to the current polls, they have no means to accurately represent how people will vote right now.
If he does get a deal, however, and gets parliament to pass it, then all bets are off - no fucking idea what will happen at that point
I'd rather look at them then make prediction based on my own biases
Chances of that are zero to none, however
It's a check on my own thinking
yeah, but that's what the polls are currently doing, basing things on their own bias
Which is why I look at aggregate
Poll bias are typically based on their methodology
And they will have a different bias to my own if they have one.
even aggregated, these are some of the strangest political times in the history of our nation.
An online poll will over-report labour/lib dem
A telephone poll will over-report tory
Yes they are eccles
Which is why there is a reasonable balance
So it's something
Yep, well as long as people ditch this "muhtorymajority" based on 0-8% poll lead
That made me quite cross 🙂
It's more based on every agregator with those numbers predicting a Tory majority
which way do we think an election would go right now?
Boris is the most popular UK politician
hung parliament, aj949
labour/libdem/snp coalition
I'll go with light majority with the help of the DUP
naa, i don't think that would happen with lab/lib/snp
without a brexit party election pact, tories are fucked
yeah, but the remain parties wouldn't be able to band together
i think boris is holding fire until he knows the result of the renegotiation
yeah, they will
they wouldn't
if it's that or boris, they will
What is the law the judge is citing to make the prorogue illegal
They decided what is reasonable
They essentially decided what politics they liked more
Obscure bit of Scottish law that says parliament has to be able to sit regularly, Joshu
they are infighting amongst themselves, it would be untenable under a 3way split government
They did what British judges always fucking do - prop up the status quo
Brexit not happening then, right?
nah, aj, it'd work fine - they're practically identical parties
Not yet, noob
A month is a long time in politics
