Exit Poll
Did you tune in to the Election Count on BBC, ITV and Sky News at 10pm last night? They forecast from their exit polls a result of Conservatives 305 Labour 255 LibDems 59, and the poll was immediately rubbished by everyone as being completely wide of the mark based on the so called experts' experience of the campaign.
The final ACTUAL figures show Conservatives 306 Labour 258 LibDems 57. I think the exit pollsters are owed a drink! |

Re: Exit Poll

Re: Exit Poll
True the exit poll was spot on in the end.. would be interesting to see a "non entry" exit poll of those bods that turned up well before 10pm but did not get a vote :rolleyes:

Re: Exit Poll
Many European (& non European) countries are or have been governed by a coalition Government in their time, some to the bad & some to the better but it shouldn't be dismissed out of hand. The whole furore over the situation I believe is unwarranted & is more down to personal indignation as opposed to the effect on the Country.
The reason being is that the Folk of UK are more accustomed & socially conditioned to single party rule, but how many of the "Die hards" are truly happy with every aspect of their chosen parties policies ? Many vote the way they do due to their status & upbringing, the "That's how we do things round here Lad ! always have & always will !" or "Me Dad, his Dad & his Dad afore him have always voted that way !" attitude is engrained in the British psyche. Think back, not so long ago a "Test" was put up on here where you selected a "Party" on their policies & not their allegiance ! Remember that do we ? http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...ies-52617.html This one & how many where through & through in line with their "Own" parties policies, so before decrying the whole sorry mess, give it a chance surely it has got to be better than what the preceding 20 odd years have been like & should it, as a social experiment fall flat on its face, new rules should be in place by 4-5 years time & you can see how it goes at that ! Remember "Every Country gets the Government it deserves" |

His conduct from 1939 onwards was wrong & illegal & since that time successive German Governments have taken extreme measures to prevent a rise of a single power/party in their Government to stop history repeating itself. Since 1949 the FRG (federal Republic Germany) have had a coalition Government to represent its people & despite its internal problems Germany is still seen as a powerful industrial Nation. |
Re: Exit Poll
It is true that coalitions are common throughout Europe, but individual parties there are much narrower in the political spectrum. In the UK, the Labour and Conservative parties are themselves coalitions of opinion. The Labour Party represents all political opinion from the centre right to the extreme left short of the Workers Revolutionary or Communist Parties (and by the way, where were THEY during this election? Never saw sight nor sound of them). The Conservative Party represents all political opinion from the centre left to the extreme right short of the BNP or (judging from their Party Political Broadcast, UKIP).
The Liberal Democrats overlap the two big parties, and attract people in the centre disillusioned with the other two parties. A coalition with the Conservatives doesnt broaden the basis of the political opinion of the Government. It puts together two factions who have different views about achieving the same ends. I wish the coalition well, because it is going to have to take some difficult decisions to get us out of the mess we are in. I'm just not sure the overall Parliamentary infrastructure is grown up enough to do it. |
