Remembering Kerry
|
![]() Polls are not reliable. Selectively taking one only to make some point is never a wise move. There's 2 other polls out around the same time as that one. One has Labour and Conservatives each on 26% with Reform on 19% Another has Labour on 27%, the Conservatives on 25% and Reform on 22% They're easy to see by just entering as a search 'latest UK opinion polls'. So the whole picture of the opinion polling world is seen, not a tiny snapshot of only one. The polls reflect certainly the dismay and disillusionment in politics. They tell us little of where all will be in July/August 2029. Remember Farage proclaiming in an election debate that Reform had now gone ahead of the Conservatives in the polls. Yet on election day, Reform were 10% behind the Conservatives. The Conservatives on 24% and Reform on 14% Reliance on opinion polls is not a recommendation I'd make, and certainly NEVER on only one single poll.
