Isn't this a leading question and wouldn't you expect an organization with the integrity of Survation to ask the Mail to try again?

I don't have a desired outcome I am interested it the numbersDair said:
When the two polls you decide will not be compared to the previous poll by the organisation but by a random choice of previous polls purely to give your desired outcome more credibility, it is Comfort Interpretation. Failure to divide your integers by the number of polls involved also makes your number meaningless. You have turned Comfort Interpretation up to 11.isam said:
I'm doing no such thing actuallyDair said:
You do understand that your Comfort Interpreting, right ?isam said:Updated SPUD
The best way of telling the way the political wind is blowing
3 polls today and the Conservatives equal their best score since the SPUDs were planted on Monday
16 polls in all this week and 11 different pollsters
(I have compared tonights YG w last Saturday's for the Times and tonight's Survation with their last for the MoS, not the one from earlier in the week)
Day/Week
Con 0 /-8
Lab -5/-12
UKIP +2/+7
LD +1/+1
Grn +3/+2
I can't help who is improving and who is regressing
Let's have a bet on your prediction of Ukip 7%
I will actually give you 1% start as a nous handicap
I'll buy a grand at 8%
Deal?
I have money on my expected outcomes and at better odds than you are offering already. Any additional stakes I have available will be going on Orkney and Zetland and a few other bets unrelated to UKIPs failure.
I have compared each poll to the previous one by that pollster for that organisation. If I hadn't done so for the survation tonight, I thought the conservatives on here would complain that I was skewing the numbers to look bad for them
I am a Ukip supporter, it was either no change or +1... Subtract 1 if you don't like the truth
All honest and above board, I provide the amount if polls and pollsters used so people can interpret as they please, and you are free to divide them as you wish
Ah bottling the bet , all moooth and nay trooisers
Fair enough I don't blame you youdve lost a fortune x0 -
Love it. It is truly wonderful that 10 years ago people used to laugh at the idea Boris could ever be taken seriously as a politician - even if plenty will say he still has no real chance of being LOTO or PM, the prospect is seriously considered by serious people, and I find that hilarious.TheScreamingEagles said:YouGov: when we ask people who they would support if Boris Johnson led the party, he converts a two-point deficit into a three-point lead.

Brave, but potentially very profitable.Pulpstar said:
I'd say playing the SPIN for the Con-Lab seat gap is very very "brave" indeed.bigjohnowls said:Mike Smithson @MSmithsonPB 2m2 minutes ago
So the big polling picture is that it's all very close and forecasting what's going to happen is only for the brave
Scotland the brave?
I think Mike is on the right side of the bet, I'm just not sure he picked the right moment to put his bet on.
Personally, if I was going to bet on this (I'm not), I'd wait until the very last minute - as close to the exit poll as possible - before betting against the tories.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent_control
Rent controls MAY work long term, but millions of people rent for an enormous range of reasons.
I have rented for the past 5 years and I am quite settled with a decent Landlord who is happy with me and Vice versa. But I would NEVER sign a 3 year deal
The tenants that I deal with at work (approximately 200 properties) fall roughly into the following categories.
New relationship-not sure how it will work out -sign for 6 months and see how it goes 15%
Broke up with someone -not sure how things will work out -sign for 6 months and see how it goes 15%
Young (under 30) couple saving for mortgage - sign for a year at a time 20%
Couple /kids / cant afford to buy so no choice but to rent-but aspire to something better /not sure what my job will be in a years time- so will only sign year to year- 25%
Retired or nearly retired-want to free up some cash and live life 15%
Single/couple want long term deal/will never move so 3 year + is a good idea 10%
I always offer our tenants the option of a longer deal-I have had 4 (FOUR) so far this year who have taken up the chance of a 2 year deal.
This is an issue that the property owning classes think is a great idea, but the renting classes might think is less than optimal idea.

Do we have the tory ones? The total UKIP vote isn't increasing (apparantly) - so if Red Kippers are now 19.3% it must surely mean that Tory Kippers are much less than what they were.Pulpstar said:
The England effect will be bigger too, UKIP aren't eating into any of SLAB's 2010 voters. Are you treating 2010 ELAB and 2010 SLAB differently in your model. If this is right, Labour sub 250 for sure.Barnesian said:
That could be significant.TheScreamingEagles said:
My model shows UKIP votes made up of 2010 voters:
42% Con
27% UKIP
17% BNP
8% Lab
6% LD
For 2010 Lab to be 19% of UKIP votes, UKIP would have to be taking 7% (rather than 3%) of 2010 Lab voters.
The consequence would be: Con 284 seats, Lab 259 seats - which is quite a difference.
It is Survation and there is large MOE on subsamples - so I'm not changing my predictions of baiscally equal seats of 272, - but I'll definitely keep an eye on this.0 -
Which is the problem. Ed has said a lot of popular but stupid things over the last couple of years. He can't seriously follow through on this nonsense can he?FrancisUrquhart said:I said down thread that I am sure it will be popular. Doesn't mean it is a good policy.

Remember a couple of year ago his summer reading list involved a book about inequality (not the Piketty book), that was totally debunked as the acadamics behind it had mysteriously ignored all the counter examples in their data...
What did he do, he came back and started giving speeches that were basically straight out of the book. I think somebody finally told him that the book had been totally debunked and that probably best to shut up about it.
It is like somebody watching the Wire and deciding to start making radical new drugs policy based solely upon it.0 -
Just saw Joe Root was made MOTM. Brilliant hundred but how often does 1 player win a match in the way Jimmy did today? Involved in the first 6 wickets today.

If the Tories can throw away tens of millions on selling houses that are not even owned by the government simply to buy votes, then Ed has every right to screw landlords [ who vote Tory - apart from me ] and help tenants. In any case, none of you have read the details.glw said:

I have different models for Scotland and E&W. My calculations are just for E&W. 19% for UK is about 20% for E&W. If I assume UKIP are taking 9% rather than 7% from 2010 Lab voters, it reduces the Lab seats to 255.Pulpstar said:

The details barely matter. Either the policy fails to achieve its aims, and it's expensive bureaucracy; or it succeeds, it creates a disastrous distortion in the market. For example, if there are permitted rises every three years, then that caps the distortion but it caps the perceived "benefit", so it balances out.compouter2 said:

Balls, is a thoroughly dislikeable individual, Mr McBride and all that, but one thing is clear he does know his economics.

If Farage wins he should be safe, though perhaps having achieved a personal triumph along with what should be a very good result for the party (never mind some thought they could do even better, they are set for a great night regardless), and having done so much to get the party to where it is, perhaps he will call time on his leadership once more.Pulpstar said:I'm confidently predicting Nicola Sturgeon will still be the leader of the SNP a week from polling day.
Past that, Farage looks reasonably safe to me.
The other three could be in deep shit.
Clegg is a goner; he's been a political zombie for years, and the only question is if he loses his seat or not, and how quickly he is ousted if he does - given it seems the LDs will not have the seats to make a Tory coalition viable, thus even if the party is inclined to do they cannot, I should think they will oust him very quickly, as they won't need to have a leadership figure in place for negotiations.
Ed M will be fine so long as he wins, as he should. They won't get rid of him if he can form some sort of government.
And so conversely, Cameron is a goner. Just a question of whether the negotiations for the others are sorted out by a week from polling day.
Are we getting to the point where Cameron not being 'just as likely' to be PM as Ed, but rather, as I have irritatingly and incessantly said, 'less likely' to be PM, might just seep through to the public at large? I remained stunned at the number of Labour people who do not seem even hopeful.bigjohnowls said:Tim Shipman @ShippersUnbound 38m38 minutes ago

Some PB Labour supporters seem almost complacently confident today which is a bit surprising given that today's polls including the Ashcroft marginals polls seem ok for the Tories. Survation has a 3 point Tory lead plus a big Kipper vote share which on the day could translate into a healthy Tory lead, especially if the undecided break blue and the can't be arseds can't be arsed.

I agree that all of those are necessary if not quite sufficient steps in giving the Aussies a game. We also need Broad to be consistently bowling over 85 mph, Ali to learn how to cope with fast bowling and probably Johnston to be injured.RepublicanTory said:

IF Jimmy is back to his best and he isn't over bowled in the early summer he will give the Aussies a serious going over.
If Cook has found his form and we can find someone to open with him we could seriously give the Aussies a fight.

Yeah I wonder how much Balls is looking at the situation in terms of his own future, rather than the effectiveness or frankly even the deliverability of some of Ed's brainwaves.

I'm slightly less pessimistic than usual after I spoke to my friend earlier who's been doing some doorknocking in Wirral West and Chester; she says people are now generally saying they're going to vote Labour with more enthusiasm than the weary grudging tone she's used to, and that opinions of Ed have come right up in the last couple of weeks.kle4 said:
