It tells you how many people haven't been watching the news recently. With 36% don't knows that's a lot of votes available for anyone who has a clear, simple message. Of course, "no view" in this context might translate in to "sack the lot of them"
I reckon many, many people never watch the news, ever. How many don't knows would you get on a poll about Love Island?
*raise hand*
I couldn't name a single Love Island contestant. Never watched it.
Mrs Foxy is a fan, but she chucks me out when it starts. The sarcasm gets too much. See you 2100 tommorow...
Tommy and Molly Mae massive favourites but Amber and Gregg could have a chance. India and Ovie the outsiders.
I'm not opposed to outgoing PMs giving out a few gongs to supporters, I don't think it that unreasonable that the outgoing head of government in some small way can reward their staunchest supporters in such a way as it is only a title at the end of the day.
A peerage is a different kettle of fish, even if latitude is granted with honours given while the PM resigns, raising someone to the legislature is pretty substantial.

The biggest threat to the union is Bozos lunatic no deal .
He needs to STFU and stop peddling this care for the Union guff . If he cared about the UK he’d not have been the architect of Brexit .
According to Opinium today 34% of Scots back No Deal Brexit and 11% back delaying Brexit to get a Deal through the Commons but only 39% want to cancel Brexit altogether
Looks like we’re going to end up with a policy announcement a day through August as Bozo is desperate to keep his face on the front pages .
I’m still waiting for him to cure cancer and make plans to fire off an orbiting mission to Mars .
The desperate to dupe the plebs magic money tree is turning into a forest, at this rate we’ll be re oxygenating the planet at a rate to combat climate change.
Bozo realizes that just wanking off about no deal for the next few months might begin to grate with the public so in a desperate attempt to hoodwink the public he’s decided to just keep spending .
Whatever you want Bozo has the cash to spare . Bizarrely the public who all seemed to like fiscal probity and who were deficit experts in 2015 and who fell for the “ We can’t leave the debt for the grandkids “ worn out mantra , now have thrown that off after of course voting their grandkids hopes and dreams down the toilet in 2016 !
The Tories previous concerns about debt and the deficit have been ditched , similar to what Trump has done in the USA.
Of course one can conclude that the Tories vomit inducing hypocrisy on this subject will last as long as the need to bribe the public into no deal enthusiasts.

Surely you can bribe some of the people all of the time or all of the people some of the time, but if you try to bribe all of the people all of the time they'll realise you're doing with their own money ...

It will be interesting to see how this pans out in GE.
I may be mistaken, but my memory is that during my entire adult life the battle over whose tax/spending plans were more dangerous was the centre of an election campaign.
This time it seems it will be who can spend the mythical gold egg from Brexit fast enough...
On-thread: Pretty impressive poll for Swinson, as she’s hardly been in the media and even her election was crowded out by the Boris effect.
Appalling for Corbyn. Simply appalling. Is this the lowest Preferred PM % for a LotO ever?
Personally I find it shocking that 15% of the population think he is the best qualified to be PM, even amongst that rather rum bunch. What are these people thinking?
Approximately 20% want to nationalise everything.
There's a poll that shows that?
I've seen a poll here with over 20% support for the nationalisation of supermarkets, travel agents and car factories.
I can't find it at the moment but this relates to the issue:
Nationalisation fever also appears to be infectious. Royal Bank of Scotland, you might assume, is not a powerful advert for the delights of state ownership but the country is apparently evenly split on whether all banks should be nationalised. There was even 27% support for nationalising airlines, as if the budget airline revolution never happened.
According to a recent poll published by The Times (in association with the Legatum Institute, conducted by Populus), 23% of Brits support the nationalisation of Travel Agents
23% travel agents 24% car manufacturing 27% airlines 33% mobile phone network 35% food
I know it's an old poll, but I doubt the numbers have changed much since it was published. What amazes me is that a third of people want nationalised mobile phone networks. What would that achieve? Other than higher bills and worse service for everyone. I have to tolerate a pseudo-public telecoms monopoly on my internet connection via BT Openreach and it's awful. Any fault takes forever to fix and needs three weeks notice before they send anyone out.
If anyone's in the one-third of people who want a National Food Service, could they get straight on Amazon and buy a history of Soviet collectivisation? Robert Conquest's The Harvest of Sorrow is a good start for anyone who ought to be disabused of this madness. Short version; about seven million people starve to death.
Corbyn supporters: suddenly we care what LibDems are doing because our f**ked up leader and his side kick Seamus have screwed up the Remain vote from millions. We thought we would be fighting class war, now it seems we are fighting a cultural war.
Well we've had £350m for the NHS, German car makers, global free trade deals, why not which country will Leave next? The Greatest Hits please the crowd when the difficult second album doesn't go down so well.

No. It took 5 days for Talk Talk to run a test, to show the problem was between the telegraph pole and the house. And therefore BTs responsibility. They were round in an hour and done in 2.
My experiences with BT Openreach have been uniformly atrocious including them lying repeatedly to both myself and my service provider about having visited my house to fix problems. I would love to see them go out of business.

I'm in favour of private competition where it produces genuine choice (who needs British Cereal, for example?), but rival utilities delivering the same thing under different labels are just a waste of space. The classic example is the phone number lookup service, for which a perfectly good BT service was replaced by umpteen dodgy outfits charging you ridiculous amounts per number and trying to get you to dial through them at a premium rate as well.

Did you not suggest last night that there was a new Scotland poll which gives Labour 19% and the Tories 16%?
Nope, that was just the Scottish sub-sample of one of yesterday’s four GB-wide polls. ComRes I think (it was the only one which seemed to have published detailed tables immediately, which I found surprising as YouGov are usually pretty good at that).

Telecoms is an interesting case in that respect. In the age of rotary dial telephone and poles at the end of each street, then there was a natural monopoly.
But no more. Even before you start to think about over-the-air delivery, you have the ability to dig up roads and lay fibre to the end of street. The last few yards is a monopoly but the rest of the network isn't.
This lot deserve the biggest trial since Nuremberg.

Andy Wigmore: "The propaganda machine of the Nazis, for instance, if you take away all the hideous horror and all that kind of stuff, it was very clever, the way they managed to do what they did. In its pure marketing sense you can see the logic of what they were saying, why they were saying it and how the were presenting things - the imagery. Looking at that, in hindsight now, having been at the sharp end of this campaign you see, crikey, this is not new."

Yes, of course you are right. How foolish of me. I really wish that my party was on 23% of the vote and that my party leader had a negative 33 point rating. That would be a much better position than to have a measly 46% VI after 12 years in government, and a leader with a positive approval rating (that is simply embarrassing).
It is a pleasure for us Jock scum to be crushed by you mighty Unionists. You are undoubtedly a better class of people. I’m away off to hum Land of Hope and Glory.
"As police forces prepare for the government’s ambitious recruitment drive, they have identified a formidable new challenge: hiring millennials.
The Home Office has been told that rookies have been “wrapped in cotton wool”, are routinely shocked that police are expected to work nights and weekends and “do not like confrontation”.
Police officers and staff told the Front Line Review that such expectations “may be a generational phenomenon related to people who have recently reached adulthood — a ‘millennial thing’ — and not unique to policing”."

No. This type of overstatement devalues real evil and makes people look like idiots. Real horrors were caused by Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Mugabe, etc.
There are political outcomes we all dislike passionately based on our life experience and world view. That doesn't give us the right to put Johnson or Corbyn in that group.

I reckon many, many people never watch the news, ever. How many don't knows would you get on a poll about Love Island? These people probably vote tribally, or maybe used to.

We're in a globalised world - there's no shortage of people willing to accept traditional western work practices.
Meanwhile those millennials will be okay as long as they have both a useful skillset and a satisfactory work ethic.
