Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

UK - YouGov/Sun poll: CON 27%, LAB 38%, LDEM 11%, UKIP 17%

I am afraid that YouGov is probably the most unreliable polling system. They just poll people who sign up to be polled. That effectively pre-selects the polled population. YouGov has reputation of being way off the average view. It has become a place where activists can sign up to be polled. I signed up a few years ago to see how it works. I received polls on all sorts of things almost every day.

YEP but were talking RELATIVE here Hays. From 8% to 11%.

If the poll is wrong then what it is relative to is not important. Their polling numbers are often tiny as their signed up population get bored. They also cannot do demographically random
selections.

Sigh....... I give up.

I think it should be 13-14% to-day.

Talking about YouGov, I received this today

Dear ...

It's been a little while since we heard from you. We thought you might be interested in having your say about yesterday's big footballing news?

Eurosceptics Tory MPs are plotting a Commons vote on an EU referendum next week. They're tabling an amendment to the Queens Speech

A bit pointless as it won't get enough support.

YOU NEVER KNOW, but more importantly its sending a message to the ETON Club.

Tanker reckons 76 euro tory sceptics, plus a few libs and a few others and maybe labour, and it could get enough support.

There won't be Libs and almost no Lab. You live in a fantasy world. Don't get too excited about what you read on Twitter.

The Eurosceptic amendment will just express regret that there is no EU referendum bill in the Queen's speech. That's pretty much of a non event.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-22470021

BBC political editor Nick Robinson understands the Speaker is to accept the amendment, so it could be debated and voted on next Tuesday or Wednesday.

The prime minister has told his party that his coalition partners would oppose any attempt by the government to stage a Commons vote on the issue.

As you can see, the way you reported the story was incorrect. You said above, "Eurosceptics Tory MPs are plotting a Commons vote on an EU referendum" In reality they are just debating a motion to express regret about no Referendum on the EU. All a bit pointless.

I didnt report it, Nick Robinson did, and your still guessing.

Nothing concrete yet.

hmmmm nice one cyril........interesting.

I am not guessing. It is just to express regret. They have taken advantage of a recent technicality regarding amendments to the Queen's speech. Normally only the official opposition can table an amendment. In the last parliament, because of the coalition, the possibility of a second motion was allowed to enable the Libs to join in. It is all a bit silly. I know that it is reported that the Speaker has allowed the motion for next Tuesday or Wednesday, but I think that it may be undecided yet.

hmmmm yes I think I understand you.....all a bit messy hays.

Hays,

You have some nice friends:

I know Cameron and henchman treat the country as their private thiefdom, but it appears a lot more widespread and OH DEAR one little tory feels bullied:-

If one unemployed person falsely claimed expenses, the self righteous torie with Cameron and Osborne in the lead would be calling for stiff prison sentences.

MPs have repaid nearly £390,000 in profits judged to have been made on taxpayer-funded homes, says Ipsa, Parliament's expenses watchdog.

The highest payment was £81,446 by Welsh Secretary David Jones, one of 71 MPs who continued to claim towards mortgage interest payments until 2012.

They had to repay a share of any capital gain and most have now done so.

But Tory Stewart Jackson says Ipsa is bullying him by taking legal action to get him to pay £54,000 it says he owes."
