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.

You are wrong as usual. The web site you get the majority from is
http://ukpollingreport.co.uk/
If you look carefully, you will see that it hasn't been updated since 23 July. It doesn't even show Friday's lead of 3 and not today of 1. Their methodology doesn't take account of of specific seats. It just uses an overall average, which I have shown above is wrong.

Your eyesight is failing you again. If you look down the right hand side you will see the last figures in the overall number is 23 July. They only update the headline figure every few days. It has been 44 since Wednesday. Sometimes they don't update it for more than a week at a time.
This is the most recent item at the top of the table

The present fighting in Gaza started because of Hamas's reaction to Israel arresting more than 300 people in their search for three 'kidnapped' Israeli settlers teenagers.
The Israeli government knew the same day that they had been killed and not kidnapped. Their phone call to the police contained gunshots and the car was found with blood in it. They let the Israeli public believe in the kidnapping theory to incite the Israeli public. Then they went house to house in the West Bank arresting more than 300 Hamas supporters. It is not surprising that Hamas responded with rocket fire. Israel took advantage of the incident to start a new war.
Hamas denied the kidnapping and Israel has now admitted that it was not Hamas but a rogue group.
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2014/07/hamas-didnt-kidnap-the-israeli-teens-after-all.html
The motivation for all this conflict and the escalation is because Hamas and Fatah formed a unity government that represented Gaza and the West Bank. That happened a couple of days before the kidnap. It is the reason why Hamas would not have done the kidnapping because they were trying a non aggressive approach.
The only party to benefit from the kidnap/killing is Israel itself. It makes you wonder if Israel intelligence killed the teens. The other odd thing is why would they be killed? There is nothing to be gained by the killing. The Palestinians have always held people in that situation as they can use them as bargaining chips for prisoner swaps.

It does show the lead of 1, but they did not update the majority figure every day. For some reason the majority figure is usually out of sync with the poll publishing. I think they do it to even out the trends. Otherwise the majority figure would change every day. In fact it changes about once a week.

Fudging again Hays, youve had your ass kicked,the majority was 23 on Friday
it is now 44.
Todays overal figure has been updated taking into account last weeks polls, it is always updated at the weekend.
Everyone can tell youve been telling porkies just by clicking on the link.
Its people like you that get a bad name for the Tories who by in large are very decent people. I myself would probably be voting Tory but not with the Eton crowd in charge lying at every turn and twist.
What a shambles the party is in.

No, it has been 44 for a few days. You can easily see the date it was updated. I will keep a record now so that you can more easily understand.

Some of the promises the Tories are trying to delete from the internet

Some of the promises the Tories are trying to delete from the internet:
1. No cuts to front-line services.
2. “We have absolutely no plans to raise VAT”.
3. Cameron said “I wouldn’t means-test child benefit”.
4. “No more top-down reorganisations of the NHS”.
5. On Educational Maintenance Allowance (EMA): “We don’t have any plans to get rid of them”.
6. Cameron on Sure Start: “Yes we back Sure Start. It’s a disgrace that Gordon Brown has been trying to frighten people about this”.
7. On the Future Jobs Fund: “We have no plans to change it”.
8. Cameron on green taxes: “[They] need to go up”.
9. Osborne on bank bonuses: “Totally unacceptable”.
10. And finally, Cameron’s commentary on transparency in 2007: “It’s clear to me that political leaders will have to learn to let go. Let go of the information we have guarded so jealously”.

So, it will be won/lost in the marginals, as usual.
The problem is, what do you call a marginal when you can get huge swing votes from people who have had a enough of the present offerings ie. lib/lab/con ?

There aren't a big 'three'. The UK operates a two-party system. It might pretend to operate a multi-party system, but it doesn't. It has always operated a two-party system, and it will continue to operate a two-party system all the time that first past the post voting is used. And because a two-party system has been allowed to exist, there now isn't any hope of the constitutional change which would introduce the proportional representation voting which would allow a true multi-party system to develop. It's a Catch 22.
Garage and Clegg can bang on till the cows come home about their political influence, but the simple truth is they have no influence whatsoever. They're both political ideologists who need to smell the coffee and get a grip on reality.
If you don't believe me, try Googling Duverger's law.
