-(FOCUS-UK):(« TO REMAIN OR BREXIT » ON THE (23RD) ?(« RECENT OPINION POLLS SIGNS TO DECODE »)!
-FIRST AND FOREMOST, WE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE EVERYTHING CLEAR THAT, ACCORDING TO A NEW OPINION POLL…. IS A FAMILIAR REFRAIN IN MEDIA COVERAGE OF POLITICS IN EUROPE. IN THE SAME WAY, THE ACCURACY OF OIPINION POLLS IN PREDICTING ELECTION OUTCOMES IS NOW ESTABISHED. IN THE « UNITED STATES OF AMERICA », FIRST DEMOCRACY WORLDWIDE, WHERE MODERN SAMPLING TECHNIQUES WERE INTRODUCED BY GEORGES GALLUP IN THE (1930S),THE AVERAGE ERROR IN PREDICTING THE MAJOR PARTIES SHARE OF THE VOTE AT NATIONAL ELECTIONS BETWEEN (193OS) AND (1988) WAS A MERE (1.5) (PER CENT).ACCURACY IS SIMILAR,TRHOUGH NOT ALWAYS QUITE AS GOOD,IN OTHE DEMOCRACIES SUCH AS: (« ENGLAND », « GERMANY » AND « FRANCE »!DOWN THE LINE, WHAT IS THE BROADER SIGNIFICANCE OF POLLS IN « EUROPE » TODAY IN THIS TIME OF NEXT BRITISH REFERENDUM ABOUT (BREXIT) OR NOT?
-IN THE SAME TREND, RECENT OPINION POLLS RELATED TO BRITISH « BREXIT » OR NOT ARE NECESSARY TO DECODE BEFORE THE VERY DAY(23rd OF JUNE)!IS IT A GOOD SIGN FOR (UK)? ANYWAY, THE TRUTH WILL BE REVEALED ON THE (23RD OF JUNE)!
-FINALLY, OPINION POLLS CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS UIN SEVERAL WAYS WHEN BRINGING INTO THE PUBLIC REALM THE VOICES OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD OTHERWISE GO UNHEARD!MOREOVER, BASICALLY POLLS ENABLE POLITICIANS TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THE POPULAR MOOD AND POLLS GIVE SOME INSDIGHT INTO REASONS FOR ELECTION RESULTS.
-(« OPINON POLS OIL THE WHEEL OF DEMOCRACY »):
IN SHORT, OPINION POLLLS OIL THE WHEEL OF DEMOCRACY INDEED, YET IT WOULD BE WRONG TO OVERSTATE THE IMPACT OF OPINION POLLS IN THE EUROPEAN POLITICS SET UP NOWADAYS!BUT THE CONTROVERSY GOES ON WHEN ORDINARY PEOPLE ANSWER THE QUESTIONS BUT THEY DON’T ASK THEM:IN CONSEQUENCE, THE POLITICS AGENDA IS SET SMOOTLY IN SOME CAPITAL CITIES SUCH AS:(WASHINGTON, BERLIN ,PARIS BRUSSELS) AND MANY MORE, BY PARTY OFFICIALS AND JOURNALISTS WHO COMISSION POLLS BASICALLY!THAT MIGHT BE ANOTHER ISSUE OF INVESTIGATION TODAY WHERE POLITICS TRICKS SEEM TO TAKE HIGHER GROUND WORLDWIDE!
