If I might suggest, as this is the Brexit forum, I think you should restrict your analysis to polls pertaining to the referendum, and elections triggered as a result.

You’re using the past tense (“were wrong”). Sonic wrote “are wrong”.

You are referring to (I think) the polls before and about the Brexit referendum. Sonic appeared to be making a statement about polls in general.

If we don’t know what public opinion is now (the referendum result is historical), and polls are no guide, then the case for a second referendum is stronger, IMO.

Polls are not to be trusted.

Whats changed to make polling of today any more reliable than the polling of 3 years ago?

Fine. Let’s have a referendum then and find out if the public truly still support Brexit.

You have one - the Euro elections are coming up in a couple of weeks so then we will see how accurate the polling is. At the moment Farage is going to win handsomely according to the polling...

That’s not a Brexit referendum.

Pacifico Publish time 25-11-2019 22:13:38

I thought the purpose was to test how accurate polling was - so whats the difference?

Because remainers have spent the last 3 years trying to ball ache it yeah that fair

But it would be another gauge of public opinion.If the UK public vote overwhelming for Pro-EU or Anti-EU MEPs, would that not be a poll/vote/referendum of sorts?
