I suspect that Nick's mates in Scotland may not be entirely representative of the population as a whole.<br /><br />After all, they are likely to be Liberals, possibly members of one of the parliaments or councils, and if they hang with Nick, they are unlikely to be short of a bob or two.<br /><br />I agree with your suggestion that the opinion of a few of us "ordinary" people might help to make the survey more democratic, or more liberal in nature...<br /><br />...but why would Nick be interested in that?<br /><br />Actually, it's not just Nick that comes out with this kind of nonsense. I wish I'd a pound for every time I hear some politician telling me what he ‘hears up and down the country’ (presumably these are the ones that either don't have any friends to ask, or at least if they do, they have the savvy to keep them out of the "opinion polls".<br /><br />My advice to Nick would be to come to Scotland and ask around a bit....<br /><br />And I had such high hopes for him too.... tut tut...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
