Thought that this would only fit in a new thread...
on the commute home from work tonight I heard about 5 minutes on Andrew Pierce's show on LBC. He was talking (enthusiastically of course) about a poll which purportedly showed "Con 42% and Lab 36%". In the bit I heard he didn't mention the polling company but referred to it as a "new poll".
Any ideas???

This presents a great opportunity to once again mention the mythological 'asterisk' poll from circa 1989.

not sure this is a poll. I tweeted them about it and it appears to be based on EU ref voting intentions, the EU ref voting divide in each party, etc. |

I suppose the idea is that those are the (highly questionable) figures that would have occurred had a European election taken place in 2018.

I have asked this account previously to explain their methodology (on a quite different set of figures) and had no response. I get the impression that 'via my own methodology' roughly translates as either 'plucked out of the air' or 'made up as I went along'

Agree with most of the above comments, however its the ONLY "poll" Ive seen on EU elections so I thought I'd put it out there  |

But if the Tories are down on 28, and the Brexit Party is even as high as half of that, then they could be in trouble in heartland seats. |

Hasn't that account been discredited as actually being a "number 10 insider" anyway?
