The Official Nonsense Thread

[Minty]

It's closer than they're admitting, partly because the poll companies haven't factored in the 16 & 17 year olds getting to vote properly. There's an air of the 1992 general election about the way the pollsters have conducted things, & we all remember how that one went.

The stupidest part is that in order to question the kids, they had to get their parents' permission to interview them. You can guess therefore how "private & confidential" their views counted for with mum & dad hovering around - its almost a dead cert that all the "don't knows" are really voting the opposite of their parents but won't say out loud because they don't want getting crap at home for it, they can be big enough asshats over school,their friends, their clothes & whatever without handing them more ammo.
