For many, many years I've been so frustrated with the publishing of endless polls in the pre-election period. Personally I would rather there were NO POLLS at all. People would then vote for what they actually wanted. There would be no tactical voting and we would get a genuine result based on the people's choice.
So where would be be today if there had been no polls? I think the Liberals would have got in years ago because I remember people saying back in the 1960s "Well I would vote Liberal but they'll never get in." It seemed like everyone was saying it back then. and nothing has really changed. Many people do not vote for any of the smaller parties because.........they won't get in! Without any polls there is a chance things could have been very different and we would not have the two party stranglehold we have to this day.
