Though you assert this with almost every post, what you singularly fail to do is provide any evidence. Like almost all conspiracy theorists your contention is that the conspiracy is so profound and comprehensive that no evidence to prove it is available. Meanwhile the rest of us live in a world of fallibility and shades of grey with no hidden hand directing anything. It's no more difficult to live in as soon as you accept that what a[appear to be patterns are just the random effects of billions of individual decisions. You are no more significant than any of the rest of us, and no amount of wanting to have some fundamental insight into the hidden truth will make it true. Peter. conspiracy.

I was implying that an instinctive gut reaction is not always the way to make good policy, and in a sense that's all these polls would be, even if they weren't statistically useless. Besides, people say all kinds of rubbish in pubs and regret it the next day.... :) Yes.
