What is with all this B/S
May 20th, 2013 at 9:32am
 
What are all you righters going on about with your bullshyte about what will the labor party do after they lose the election.

Who is going to be leader? Who is going to be the treasure spokeperson? etc

Who as said they are going to lose the election? Has any of you voted as yet I know I haven't and I get my ballot papers about 4/5 days after the declaration of nominations, and I haven't got them yet.

You are all saying the polls are telling you that labor will lose now read this on how the polls can be wrong.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2013/05/15/bc-election-poll...

There is only one poll to take notice of and that is held on the 14th September where everyone gets a say not just 1000 people that live in liberal areas

They said a week is a long time in politics and there is about 120 days to go before the election and a lot can happen between now and then.

If you read the whole of the article you will find that their pollsters are often wrong indicating that have statistical flaws in their methodology. However in Australia, news poll and galaxy have a record of never being more than 1.1% out in their predictions. and with the current margin being 12-16% that is of no consequence.

'low voter turnout' was an issue which will always distort the results as conservative-leaning older people stay home.  however we have COMPULSORY voting.

the wise one

All I can say is CentreBet is just one click away.

I think the polls are off, I think the ALP defeat will be bigger than what the national polls are showing.

In the state elections we are seeing inconsistencies which don't look pretty for the ALP or the greens ...... these are real polls.

The USSR turn out in 1984 was 99.7% as well due to compulsory voting.

How proud you must be to force people to the polls.

Meanwhile in the rest of the western world, we'll allow people to decide if they wish to vote....

I never bothered in the recent UK one.
As is my right.

I am opposed to compulsory voting but the stats knock my argument out of the park.

Practically we only have compulsory polling booth attendance but given that in most elections about 1% fail to show up and only about 1% fail to vote correctly.

Polling is a statistical sampling which can show trends and anomalies, the trend for the ALP has been down then flat-line.

Doing polling on a variable target quantity is very dodgy.

Given the vast majority in Australia seem happy to vote and know how to correctly ...... this does provide a far more stable polling basis.

so you cant have a bitch and say I didnt vote for them... who cares what other countries do..

to be honest we would be at the mercy of the unions who hold great sway at tellin g people what they MUST do....we on ly have a small voting population...

pathetic at this stage to tell us you can please yourself...

as you say andrei you please yourself  why you come on a political board when you admit you dont bother voting I dont know is that so you can have a bet each way...????

in future check out the informal votes at the end of the counting...........

imagine what the numbers of non voters would be if it wasn t compulsory.. we are a lazy lot you know...

the non voters would out number the voters is that what you want?

I never bothered in the recent UK elections cods because I can't stand the Labour Party, Cameron has let me down on various fronts and I think the LibDems are cracked.

In a normal society, if a politician or party does not match up to the standard you expect, then you should be free to not vote for them.

I did register my view by being one of the 60% who didn't turn up.

They have to win my vote.
Compulsory voting makes people vote who wouldn't care less which is absurd.

Which is probably why nobody else does it.

If you read the article you would see that it was NDP that lost the election and they are like our labor party so the conservative-leaning people did turn up to vote
