For the second election running The Second Post’s predictive poll was within a one-seat margin of error. (See NOVEMBER Issue below). 
Irena Pawlikowska, the CEO of WRT Polling, says, ‘This result was a clear vindication of our methodology’.
The TSP poll seeks to provide more than just a snapshot of a moment; instead it makes a clear prediction of the election result by taking account of the direction of travel of opinion among different sectors.

In a controversial article in the journal Historical Truths, Prof Ted Peasley, Head of Art & Design at the Morpeth College says academics have long misinterpreted history and argues that the true cause of Scotland’s drastic population decrease was the realisation that any citizen might be required at any time to sit in one of Charles Rennie Mckintosh’s chairs.
The Montrose was just one of several designs featuring in a particular vicious procedure in which the victim would be invited round to tea on some pretext and forced to make polite conversation while assuming a seated position with his feet resting on the floor and his hands resting on his knees.

QUOTE OF THE DAY Dec 19 2019MEDIA, bbc, POLITICS, Maitlis ‘The worst manifestation of the BBC’s lopsided coverage of politics takes the form of gratuitous interrupting, petulance and self-import grandstanding by some of its interviewers. But more insidious is a smug. sneering attitude in the sound of their questioning which we can call ‘tonal bias’.

quote of the day
Dec 14 2019politics, election
In Thurday’s General Election the Tories polled 14 million votes to Labour’s 10 million. If one was talking about a rugby match in which the score was 14 – 10 no one would suggest that the losers were completely overwhelmed.
