Snig27 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 If they were bright enough to work out how completely ridiculous this makes them look I'd be worried but – rather – it simply underlines the absurdity of this cabal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puukao Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Might as well say 100% with the asterisk... *IF you disagree, 100-years in prison and your vote will be changed to agree... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misterwhisper Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Wow, I really must be living in an area where a sizable portion of those remaining 0.7% are concentrated, a hub full of dissidents and brimming with ingrates who constantly huff and puff and whine about the government at any given opportunity. Please beg my pardon, but I am extremely skeptical about this survey, the methodology it deployed, how respondents were selected and the results calculated. In a democracy, an approval rating for anything amounting to a figure like 99.3% simply is a factual impossibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NongKhaiKid Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Can't even get propaganda right. They're supposed to make the numbers a little bit believable. They didn't claim 100% because that would have sounded fishy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
