    Polling is essentially meaningless until an election is called, and given none of the parties are making policy promises at this point it is more of a state of sentiment about the current government.

    I really hope that whoever gets elected this next election that they only get a minority so there is at least some chance of ensuring they don’t do anything too extreme.

      That’s not entirely true

      Polls still predict how people will behave, but there is a lot of room for events to happen.

      If you properly weight your polls with probability of outcomes, it’s useful. That’s not easy though.
