But oh no, choruses of "but muhhhpollsays"

2019-09-25 09:20:11 UTC  

Not a surprise, it's comes, they have been polls close with them for ages

2019-09-25 09:20:23 UTC  

There are some brainlets on here insisting a Tory majority, Joshu

2019-09-25 09:21:00 UTC  

However the rest of them by all aggregators show comres as the least favourable

2019-09-25 09:21:08 UTC  

Opinium was most

2019-09-25 09:21:23 UTC  

Most aggregators show a poll aggregate as tory majority

2019-09-25 09:21:55 UTC  

Aggregators are notoriously unreliable as they fail to model real world voting accurately in these unusual times

2019-09-25 09:21:58 UTC  

Weighting the least favourable polls more, at least 1 shows the need for DUP partnership

2019-09-25 09:22:27 UTC  

They need a clear 10% lead for a majority, if not more

2019-09-25 09:22:37 UTC  

That's just the way the system works

2019-09-25 09:23:32 UTC  

They are around 8% clear right now

2019-09-25 09:23:37 UTC  

By all aggregators

2019-09-25 09:23:45 UTC  

Does look like "abolish the supreme court" needs adding to the list of reforms needed, along with PR, written constitution, and abolishment of the lords

2019-09-25 09:24:18 UTC  

If you weight the more favourable polls more it's 10%+

2019-09-25 09:24:23 UTC  

If less it's more 5-6

2019-09-25 09:24:35 UTC  

So it's around 8-9% clear average

2019-09-25 09:24:45 UTC  

The spread is getting wider

2019-09-25 09:24:51 UTC  

This makes the result less certain

2019-09-25 09:25:11 UTC  

That comres poll 2k posted shows not much changed, if anything brexit just gained more

2019-09-25 09:25:28 UTC  

Boris needs to agree a path that gets to an election, which means he'll need to cuck on the delay and then once the election is locked in, use it to his advantage

2019-09-25 09:25:37 UTC  

Plus comres have had labour and tory almost level for the past month

2019-09-25 09:25:40 UTC  

Brexit Party gaining is Conservative losing

2019-09-25 09:25:45 UTC  

They are typically the least favourable

2019-09-25 09:26:03 UTC  

Comres typically predict more BP support

2019-09-25 09:26:10 UTC  

Which detracts from their tory figure

2019-09-25 09:26:31 UTC  

Well, welcome to the hell which is the judiciary activism, run while you still have the legs to carry you

2019-09-25 09:26:40 UTC  

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
