People Want Yingluck To Respond To Critics In Debate: Censure Motion

I fancy nine out ten Thais are going to be disappointed.... but if by any chance she does get involved in anything resembling a live debate expect her to be wearing some very elaborate 'earrings'!

Well I would have to agree with you. BUT they arrived at that figure through a Thai poll. Kinda detracts from the statement.

After al this is Thailand hub of polls where you tell them what you want and they go out and get you a poll to prove it.

I,ve always treated political related polls in particular with suspicion.

How first of all can say for eg 1,500 pollsters represent over 30 million potential voters who have an opinion.

The areas seem to me are always favourable towards the ruling party and as you rightly stated, i,m with you HD.

I go by the last sentence in your quote and the obvious bias towards whoever or whatever the polls are initiated for and on behalf of.

Polls are totally meaningless and most certainly are not representative of a Thai consensus /opinion and thus is totally irrelevant apart from propogandist purposes.

\Then there are the lucrative monetary incentives available to achieve and favour a desired result.

There are quite a few posts on these lines, though this one is particularly asinine and poorly thought through.Actually the message in understandable English from these people is always the same - I don't believe in this poll and the methodology is flawed because the results are ones with which I do not agree.The reality is of course that all polls should be treated with some scepticism (at least some US pollsters will soon definitely have some egg on face) and perhaps especially in Thailand, but to deny they have any significance at all is just absurd.Most sensible people pay no great significance to any one poll, but over time a useful indicator can be obtained.

In short you are saying you give credence to All Thai polls. Just don't use them as a guideline as where to put your money and you will do OK. --)

Opinion polls are worthless, the outcome can pretty much be guaranteed depending on the questions and methodology used.

They are nothing but porn for politicians and political junkies.

Right. And I want a 50% increase in my monthly social security payments from Uncle Sam. As my dear old daddy used to say "Son wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one gets full first".
