Opinion Polls and How to Interpret Them
Opinion Polls and How to Interpret Them
Completely unrelated to other topics on here.
A village has 601 inhabitants and they want to decide on having a council to run the village.
Here's how they vote.
5 councillors - 100 votes
4 councillors - 100 votes
3 councillors - 100 votes
2 councillors - 100 votes
1 councillor - 100 votes
0 councillors - 101 votes
Let a shortarse, wimpy, Welsh, pygmy dictator decide everything - 0 votes.
Do these 601 people want a council. Yup, over 80% do.
A bad poll doesn't mean you can go against the majority.

Re: Opinion Polls and How to Interpret Them
Personally I'd have just had a yes or no poll but it wasn't set up as that, the option that received the most votes was 'no' which makes it the winner.
You can't suddenly decide to add together the other three options because you don't like the result.

Someone thought they were being clever there. Turned out it backfired.

For me one of the best television series ever. And somewhat prophetic. The tobacco ban being a prime example.

Re: Opinion Polls and How to Interpret Them
Idiot, take the one at the top for instance, they want a council to have 5 councillors and only 5 will do, they don't want 4,3,2,1. If they can't have 5 councillors then they could of thought well if I can't have five I'd prefer to have no councillors....... no deal is better than a bad deal.DavidOwen67 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 12, 2019 11:58 am Completely unrelated to other topics on here.
