Re: Enter the hash into a search engine ...

Let's imagine two polling companies. One manipulates their poll results to get the answer they[1] want, one does not. People employ these companies and make decisions based on what their polls say. The decisions based on the manipulating company will be less right than those made by the other one. And since there is money resting on the decisions ('I need to move my business out of the UK if Corbyn wins: will he?') they rapidly stop commissioning polls from the company which is manipulating them, which dies.

In other words: stop spouting conspiracy theories, troll.

[1] Who, by the way is 'they'? Certainly not anyone who wants the polling company to make money: is it the deep state? The cabal? The libs? The illuminati? Me.
