Conservatives Poll 3rd Place in General Election Poll

I really am starting to think that you're a parody right wing account. Because it takes soenthing extraordinary to accuse the Telegraph of pushing a remain line.

You'd have been better off leaving it where it was, now you're just making a nuisance of yourself. I didn't even accuse them of anything, if you're sore at something wait for a better opportunity and try harder. I do understand polls much better than you, go play with yourself.

If you are a parody account, taking the mick out of certain right wing people who think everything is a conspiracy then fair play - great impression! However if by some chance you're genuine, you're an absolute numpty.

You really don't seem to understand what an opinion poll is if you complain about it being done when there's no impending general election.

I can only repeat what i said earlier, go play with yourself.



Yeah, and you don't seem to understand that to talk about a General Election Poll that makes little sense when there isn't one pending. Maybe you are considerably less intelligent than I credited you with.

Opinion polling, asking people how they'd vote 'if there was a general election tomorrow' has been done for decades on an almost weekly basis. The purpose is to provide a mere snap shot of public opinion at that particular time.

I'm not going to entertain you anymore, it's *******s to say a poll now is reflective of what people would do at a General election and the misleading title is what leads up to all this confusion. You're desperate to find a hole somewhere, why don't you man up and tackle my conspiracy theory on the EU making the UK take part in these elections only because they want to keep us in? It's in a nearby thread and I'm sure you've seen it but didn't fancy.

I don't like intellectual cowards and that's what you (and some others...) come across as, pathetically clutching at straws like you are now. When the big ones come their way, they hide. Bah.

Nothing is misleading. The question they asked the participants of the poll was 'how would you vote IF there was a general electiton tomorrow.' That's how opinion polling works and because you don't understand it, you're alleging a conspiracy.

The reason we are taking part in these elections is that Parliament failed to pass a withdrawal agreement. Again, basic facts but instead you look for a conspiracy.

You misread me on both counts, you talk about what things are whereas I question why they are what they are. Why ask someone which way they would vote in a GE now (taking your word for it, haven't seen it), that is the way I look at it. What's the point, by the time the election comes much will have changed and the pressures and priorities will be completely different from what they are at this Euro election. I'll be voting one way now and another at that GE, so will an awful lot of people confronted with the spectre of the far-left in Downing Street. Nobody commissions a poll out of boredom, the Torygraph (no idea if they're involved in this, no links) could have a line on May if they see her as an obstacle to Brexit and that is what they want, publishing a poll portraying her under a bad light would be in tune.

Who knows, all this is innuendo indeed but it's exclusively based on this thread. Polls don't just pop up out of the ground and cost good money so it's not a matter of conspiracy to wonder why is someone spending money on something that is so practically useless, what's the point? I'm just more curious than most, can you handle that?

As for the Euro elections, same thing. Everyone knows what the technical justification for them from the EU is, the question is what's the point? It's not as if the UK want it, it's only the EU that say we have to join in. Aren't we supposed to be leaving by October, what's the point in sending in a few people to Brussels with no role to play on anything, why put everyone through this? Why don't the EU say there's no need for it, what do they get out of it? What if the UK just said No, would they invade? Those are the type of questions I incorporate into my analysis on the way to the conclusions, nobody has to look at it that way but at least don't go too heavy on the paranoia and numptiness. Honestly, you let yourself down with that attitude.

Maybe what makes it look so much of a conspiracy is the fact that we don't hear such questions in the media. Still...

Again, rather than looking for a genuine answer your instinct always seems allege a bit conspiracy against you. And when you start to argue that the Tory graph are pro remain it takes your conspiracy theories to really quite absurd levels.

Problem being that I never argued that but now you're stuck in a rut and it'll just go on and on. That's it.

Fab protest on Swansea Road against Farage. In awe of those who lay down to stop cars and block the road. Plenty of support from passing Merthyr folk. Only violence came from one brave Brexit lad who had a pop at a couple of peaceful women protesters. Proud of Merthyr tonight.
