@fkamiah17 (and frankly, having "could it be the collective noun for a group of two or more pricks/Just like we have a murder of crows, we have a farage of dicks" going through my head is the only way I can bear to look at the man, so I always figure it might be a good coping mechanism for someone else too 😂)
@fkamiah17 of course (see, earlier, BNP, UKIP ...). I was thinking of the coverage of elections, where curiously malleable rules are cited to exclude minor parties, except if they are fascists
@theogrin Sadly, the polls I've seen over the last few weeks consistently have Reform polling at around 14% - third largest after the two Tory parties.
I'm always so glad to hear that a solid 1/7th of the population will merrily support Adam Sutler in his goals to lock up, deport, maim and kill All The Wrong People. Bonfire Night when, folks? Oh right, it already has a date...
Snide sarcasm aside, political polls are a waste of perfectly good electrons: while that 14% might be a valid impression under some circumstances, that's more accurately 14% of the people who have the time, energy, and inclination to take part in political polls, and that's assuming that they're not funded and written by the Murdochs. They'll always swing to the disaffected upper class who are upset that they can't drive their high-end sports cars down King's Road without seeing a poor.
I don't really know what you're talking about here.
You really don't need to tell me about the efficacy or reliability of polling, I was just using it as anecdata.
