Dear Shadow Minister,

The polls that I have quoted are also a random
sampling of the public.

But if you want to play the game of - "My polls are
better than yours," feel free to do so.
I did make it quite clear to you earlier that predicting
elections is a risky business at the best of times,
however the two links I gave you recently - should give
anyone food for thought.

What also really helps in any discussion is to read
from all sorts of sources. - It encourages critical
thinking without pre-determined bias.

Abbott and Victoria are a bad mix, he would be best to stay away for his party's sake.
Abbott claiming a particular road work will be a referendum, is the worst blunder he could have made.
They will not do well.

Foxy,

A reader poll is not a random sample of the public.

The reason that people are chosen at random is precisely to avoid a pre determined bias.

Dear Shadow Minister,

The polls that I cited earlier and were unacceptable
to you because they were according to you taken from
"Leftist" sources, were taken by random polling of over
8,541 voters.

But do keep trying.

Jeepers, Foxy,

You must be winning the debate.

Poor old SM's been reduced to pulling out the old "sweetie" for a bit of added oomph to his blather.

Yar, apologies to you, SM
