If they can rig the election why not just rig the polls also?
I agree.If polls, even late ones, were reliable, it’s President Dewey, not Truman in 1948. Wild Rose takes Alberta in 2012, George Smitherman might be mayor in 2010, John Major never was prime minister of Britain, and Benjamin Netanyahu is retired to his library.
“I always lose the election in the polls, and I always win it on election day,” the Israeli prime minister said, after winning again last March.
You trust polls at your peril.

Don't count the Conservatives out as far as a majority gov't goes. All these advance polls are the result of possibly a thousand samples, even if they are an indication of the popular vote, there's no way there's enough information to predict # of seats. When it comes down to the nitty gritty I doubt if everyone who says they will is really going to vote for Jr. He'd probably do O.K. running for student's council of a rural high school.
If I were in your place, I would not elect anyone.
The one whom you elect will be your responsibility, and the sin will be on your necks.
To me, I did not participate in any local election here, because I know all their programs are corrupt, and all parties are evil and devils.![]()
There's a silent majority Harper is far from being defeated.
If you don't like the rules get them changed.Majority? Really? Are you that delusional?
Last time round less than 50% of eligible voters actually cast a ballot. Of those 7.5 million people only less than 40% voted for Harper. So your "majority" is actually about 2.8 million people. Now please explain to me how 2.8 million becomes a majority in a country with 17 million eligible voters.
This is also a fine example of just how broken our system is that Harper could get a majority govt with 38% of votes cast and 16% of the eligible voters support.
