You ask them which party they would support if there were an election tomorrow ... and then you invite them to change their answer over a detail (detail?) that they knew when they answered the first question.<BR/><BR/>The pollsters are asking them to give extra weight to something they have already factored in. But unlike the media the public are not really so fascinated by personalities when it comes to polis.<BR/><BR/>The first answer is much more reliable I feel than the second answer and there are no doubt trained snake oil salesman out there who can explain how this sort of thing helps in their work.Chris Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15679067503215414300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-88862705344702290052007-05-24T23:02:00.000+01:002007-05-24T23:02:00.000+01:00I think that is certainly is going to be a degree ...I think that is certainly is going to be a degree of volatility.<BR/><BR/>Although I’m not a member of the Conservative party I have vote for the party’s candidates at elections (with varying degrees of enthusiasm) since 1987.<BR/><BR/>I am also a Purchasing manager at an NHS Trust and whilst one doesn’t discuss politics generally if I am asked who I would vote for I have no problems in identifying my allegiance.<BR/><BR/>Since DC has become party leader and over the months following the attitudes of my collegues has changed – they no longer look at me with the near contempt that they used to show. This for me shows the singular progress that has been made.<BR/><BR/>Reading the posts of many of the head bangers on Con Home is depressing. Yes of course you would want to see a huge poll lead and I feel sick at the thought of the merest possibility of this government being returned for a fourth time. But seizing on poll findings and urging the removal of DC is surely on of the ways most likely to get Brown re-elected.Grendelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14517877929080302948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-82210150699653783362007-05-24T23:00:00.000+01:002007-05-24T23:00:00.000+01:00If Brown creates proper Cabinet Government and min...If Brown creates proper Cabinet Government and ministers can develop some visibility as real heads of department, the Conservatives are toastAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-52260221835069146172007-05-24T22:54:00.000+01:002007-05-24T22:54:00.000+01:00All you doubting Tories, still time to jump on the...All you doubting Tories, still time to jump on the Labour bandwagon.jailhouselawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03795278184797990706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-54338936439584626432007-05-24T22:37:00.000+01:002007-05-24T22:37:00.000+01:00Two words:-Grammar SchoolsTwo words:-<BR/><BR/>Grammar SchoolsMikeyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02628881766409720006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-69756475985195482192007-05-24T22:20:00.000+01:002007-05-24T22:20:00.000+01:00Anon 9:56 PMYou are so right.
