    Even on polling day the Yes campaigners prove themselves incapable of respecting democracy.
    A member of Politics.ie forum, using the name of *nemesis*, who claims to be working at Scoil Mhuire poling station in Dublin North central, has just conducted his own exit poll.
    He/She claims a landslide for Yes out of a poll of 35 people.
    This is disgraceful behaviour & typifies the conduct of the thuggish Yes campaign in this referendum, especially Generation Yes.
    This individual is being reported to authorities as this behaviour is not just inappropriate but probably illegal.

    Do they have a complaints forum there? I am just not sure that politics.ie administrators will see it here.

    if i remember statistics 101 from college

    one needs a sample size larger than 40-50 (from a well randomized sample of the population) to come out with a close enough approximation or something like that

    anyways i wouldn't believe anything on the p.ie site, who knows it could be a NO campaigner trying to tar the opposition

    :D

    That individual deserves it too. I read it alright, and the individual said that many of the

    35 didn't even respond so one wonders how the individual came to the conclusion of a

    landslide yes.

    It's all the same madman living in a house with a few computers, his mother and a bunch of cats as far as I'm concerned :)

    By the very nature of the original post being on politics.ie, one would presume there was a thread available to discuss it? If so, perhaps it could be used...

    The yes side seems to have a total disregard for democratic choice - labelling people on the No side with all sorts of names. It's disgusting!

    Regards!

    Boards.ie isn't the place to complain about politics.ie or happenings on politics.ie. The place to complain about politics.ie or happenings on politics.ie is, oddly enough, politics.ie. I'd like to think the reverse also applies.
