I wouldn't bother paying any attention to the current polls, they have no means to accurately represent how people will vote right now.

2019-09-25 09:26:54 UTC  

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

2019-09-25 09:27:06 UTC  

I'd rather look at them then make prediction based on my own biases

2019-09-25 09:27:07 UTC  

Chances of that are zero to none, however

2019-09-25 09:27:17 UTC  

It's a check on my own thinking

2019-09-25 09:27:32 UTC  

yeah, but that's what the polls are currently doing, basing things on their own bias

2019-09-25 09:27:43 UTC  

Which is why I look at aggregate

2019-09-25 09:28:00 UTC  

Poll bias are typically based on their methodology

2019-09-25 09:28:01 UTC  

And they will have a different bias to my own if they have one.

2019-09-25 09:28:12 UTC  

even aggregated, these are some of the strangest political times in the history of our nation.

2019-09-25 09:28:18 UTC  

An online poll will over-report labour/lib dem

2019-09-25 09:28:25 UTC  

A telephone poll will over-report tory

2019-09-25 09:28:33 UTC  

Yes they are eccles

2019-09-25 09:28:40 UTC  

Which is why there is a reasonable balance

2019-09-25 09:28:44 UTC  

So it's something

2019-09-25 09:29:11 UTC  

Yep, well as long as people ditch this "muhtorymajority" based on 0-8% poll lead

2019-09-25 09:29:18 UTC  

That made me quite cross 🙂

2019-09-25 09:29:46 UTC  

It's more based on every agregator with those numbers predicting a Tory majority

2019-09-25 09:30:06 UTC  

which way do we think an election would go right now?

2019-09-25 09:30:23 UTC  

Boris is the most popular UK politician

2019-09-25 09:30:28 UTC  

His tory is polling the highest

2019-09-25 09:30:28 UTC  

hung parliament, aj949

2019-09-25 09:30:50 UTC  

labour/libdem/snp coalition

2019-09-25 09:30:51 UTC  

I'll go with light majority with the help of the DUP

2019-09-25 09:31:08 UTC  

naa, i don't think that would happen with lab/lib/snp

2019-09-25 09:31:10 UTC  

without a brexit party election pact, tories are fucked

2019-09-25 09:31:30 UTC  

yeah, but the remain parties wouldn't be able to band together

2019-09-25 09:31:30 UTC  

i think boris is holding fire until he knows the result of the renegotiation

2019-09-25 09:31:35 UTC  

yeah, they will

2019-09-25 09:31:42 UTC  

they wouldn't

2019-09-25 09:31:44 UTC  

if it's that or boris, they will

2019-09-25 09:31:47 UTC  

What is the law the judge is citing to make the prorogue illegal

2019-09-25 09:31:58 UTC  

They decided what is reasonable

2019-09-25 09:32:11 UTC  

They essentially decided what politics they liked more

2019-09-25 09:32:14 UTC  

Obscure bit of Scottish law that says parliament has to be able to sit regularly, Joshu

2019-09-25 09:32:22 UTC  

they are infighting amongst themselves, it would be untenable under a 3way split government

2019-09-25 09:32:30 UTC  

They did what British judges always fucking do - prop up the status quo

2019-09-25 09:32:45 UTC  

Brexit not happening then, right?

2019-09-25 09:32:49 UTC  

nah, aj, it'd work fine - they're practically identical parties

2019-09-25 09:32:52 UTC  

Not yet, noob

2019-09-25 09:33:21 UTC  

A month is a long time in politics
