“The referendum for ITV1’s Tonight programme had 1,182 voters in favour of becoming part of Scotland and 775 in favour of staying in England.”

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.

Besides, people say all kinds of rubbish in pubs and regret it the next day….

I personally don’t believe people’s first “gut instinct” or what they say when drunk is closer to what they really think. Most people think with their brains not their gut.

Its a shame you do not read my posts as carefully as I read yours.

No one said least of all SKY NEWS or me that these polls are supposed to tell us who is going to win a general election.

But I have have virtually never seen a Voodo Poll that that surprises me but plenty of general election results that shock me to my inner core.

People vote for a political party for various reasons. Some of the major ones being party loyalty their own jobs, welfare payments and most of all their own parties propaganda, when they eventually get to hear what it is.

Many of these snap polls are taken firstly before the media and the political parties PR men get to work, and secondly before people have had time to remember their own parties past mind programming.

So their first and gut reaction is possibly CLOSER to what they really think then the more considered opinion they think they should have had in the first place. Also very often different to what they vote for in elections

For example is what a man does or says when DRUNK and out of control closer to what he is really like inside, then when he later becomes sober?

Just go down the average London Pub on a Friday or Saturday night and ask a LABOUR voter what they really think about issues such as immigration and feminism after they have had a skinfull. Then compare it to what a half sober Labour MP has to say on the issue on Newsnight. If you can see any relationship whatsoever then good for you because I NEVER DO.

Maybe it’s the text you use but is this Voodoo Comer or Voodoo Corner?

I can understand the latter but if it’s the former it’s not that exciting.
