Your argument was that Polls on Scoobynet are useless.
Government Polls are correct as they use the general public, and not the general public who happen to also use Scoobynet.
Which is why I asked why you were quoting Government Polls when you admit all Polls are useless.

Polls by Mori et al will be far more scientific. Whilst I agree that they won't necessarily be accurate, they will give an indication. They will take a cross section of society rather than one particular group.
Scoobynet has been proven time and time again to be a by and large right wing thinking place. It is also hugely anti-labour. Therefore any poll that would incinuate the government isn't doing thier job is of course going to be skewed in one direction.

I hope the voters of Crewe and Nantwich remember what to do when they're in that polling station next week.

Here we go again 
No doubt you'll have some government survey/statistic to say everything is way better than it was when the Torries were in power.
Or maybe you'll tell us (again) that if this question was posted on another forum (Labour appreciation forum) that the results would be different?

You don't need stats or surveys, anyone with half a brain knows that our public services are vastly improved since the inherited several basket-cases from thr Tories

You've got to laugh at this poll, all I can conclude is that people have got very short memories or are too young to remember what our public services used to be like.
Sure they aint perfect, and they sure as hell need more reforming, but please come off it 'worse' how can anybody say that with a straight face?

i believe the services are worse for the fact they are more expensive as a percentage (not inflation) than what they used to be.
a purely hypathetical idea.
say 20 years ago i earned £100 a week and a train ticket to london cost £10 and now i earn £500 a week and the same train ticket is £100, can you see my point. the figures are out i know but its what im trying to get at.
another example being the buses. sometimes the mrs has to use them if im unable to pick her up from work. as a percentage the prices are going up more than say wages. thats my grief with the system. sure there are more examples available but ive said that with a straight face.
