I don't need NIDA or a poll to tell me that.

It's obvious, as nothing has changed, that will be trouble ahead.

Pity, about the wasted money, that will be spend on farce elections.

Poll does not suit PTP agenda.

Ignore this majority.

49.68% said national reform should come first while 38.02% said election should be prioritized . . .

So the "majority" of those polled want reforms BEFORE elections . . . kinda follows the same % figures we know about from the last failed election . . . I'm sure these numbers however will be dismissed or glossed over as being irrelevant in PT's eyes however.

Poll does not suit PTP agenda.

Ignore this majority.

The PTP are dirty as dirty can be. Nonetheless your crack, a sniveling whinge at best, states that the PTP will ignore the poll while they were part of the poll. Anyone picking sides in this, instead of commenting on issues, is worth an equal weight of saltwater...

The article says that most expect trouble. Nothing more, and that is obvious and correct.

You are amazing Sherlock! Holmes, you've done it again. Can we look forward to any other infantile spews from your puppet hating anti-poo Dubai-originating boringly predictable font of wisdom?

Pray, do tell, oh lord of lucidity, and paragon of prognostication....
