    Yes but polls.

    Something on the news today about the investigation into why the ge polls were so wrong. Apparently they asked too many Labour supports their opinion.
    Left is never right but I always am.

    Because a lot of them were in when the pollsters called whereas conservative voters are more likely to have these pesky job things.

    I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

    Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.

    I suppose the make up Labour vote will change whether the votes they lose will be replaced by those they gain only time will tell.

    But it's very likely there will be two Labour parties in the next 1-2 years.

    After EU referendum we could have 2 Tory parties, could even have a new centre party comprising of right wing Labour members and Left wing Tories.

    presumably you actually mean a pro-eu party and and out party:
    at least initially, it would seem difficult if there was a clearly expressed preference in the referendum

    If there were to be a split in Tory party it would be along those lines. I think the referendum will be close and could cause problems for Tory party.

    Maybe an opportunity for the snp to take over the north of England.

    The usual stereotyping nonsense from you. Actually Labour voters were more easily to reach because they were more internet savvy. Internet polls also tended to show a larger Labour vote for that reason!

    probably true : pity they don't use those skills to check up on the backgrounds of the IRA fellow travellers and 'acceptable' death rates for the benefits of chinese communism
    but I guess most of their time is playing computer games
