Politics aside..... Opinion Polls Are Opinionated...

I am a person that keeps my opinions on how I vote to myself (most of the time), like most of you. I will admit that I have been a 'swinger' in relation to voting at Federal, State and Local Elections. Anyone that asks me how I vote, I will divert the question and respond in a what that makes people people think. The silent majority is where I fit.

I am pleased to announce that I am proud of every Prime Minister since my date of birth day that has government the country. I have lived in electorates that have  had ministers in Government, including Prime Minister (Even though I left the electorates).

I cannot believe that polls before the election did not predict the right result for the Leadership and the Party that won the election. Morgan and News Poll all got it wrong. You know,  polls are something  that are not 100% accurate - there is always an error of accuracy. A margin that can unnecessarily swing voters from one side to the other.

I remember one or two Australian politicians say during an election, 'The Poll that counts in the election is the Poll held on Election Day'! I believe the same and always have.

In my view, Polls are opinionated and that is why they are called, 'OPINION POLLS!'
