• They're campaigning to convert the other people on this board- by shouting at them incessantly. It is after all these fourteen socialist commnist stalinist t...
• oh my god, I've been sentenced! - by a rabid republican on a discussion board.

• The Ontario numbers look way off, especially the way the numbers seem to be trending- Nik's number have been the most favourable to the liberals and even tho...
• That would be a very iggy thing to do.

• What numbers have you seen for Missisauga South, Halton, Oshawa and Durham? By the way, did you see nik's number for BC? I found it very surprising to see t...
• I think on the whole I agree with you. Both this event and the afghanistan stuff are getting drowned in what has suddenly become a very noisy campaign - whic...

• These liberal numbers might very well be a blip like the last time. Harris Decima isn't showing a similar bump for the liberals. But the conservative numbers...
• Hey, I'm not saying that's a good or a bad thing- I just find it weird because the provincial and federal liberals were so estranged for so long ...

• Not sure that's correct- the conservatives are far more ideologically separated from the other parties that the Chretien liberals. The liberals were fiscally...
• The numbers for the LPC have come back down because of a drop in the west. I looked at the riding by riding projections there- at least some of the seats the...
• again, I reiterate- the LPC which was ideologically situated between other parties, the CPC isn't. It's on one side of the political spectrum- which the way ...
• Again- the Liberal were centrists because they were in the centre. As far as I can tell they are still in the political centre. The conservatives are to the ...
• Are you seriously arguing that the liberal platform is more left-wing than the NDP's? From what I've seen thus far in the campaign, that would be very unlikely.
• Political centre relative to whom? No I am not on the far left. But I do have a clue as to where the parties stand in relation to each other. And I do know t...
• that sounds about right- I think there is going to be an increase of about10 seats overall for the CPC with the present numbers. But, the liberals weakness ...
• Yes it is. Centre is a relative term. Maybe not to your core beliefs but when someone says a party is in the centre- they mean relative to other parties. Ev...
• What the liberals are proposing is definitely to the political right of the ndp- I think both the ndp and liberals will agree on that. I think the prime mini...
• Maybe you are right about the greens. I though that as well but May's performance in the debates seemed very left-wing. That's what causes me to think in thi...
• get your absolutes and relatives sorted out.
• definitely not attacking your beliefs , mister west of me.
• absolutely
• IF the CPC had a party to the right of it AND if it had majority support, maybe I would accept your statements on what is the "well established Canadian poli...
• Dude, you can't even spell c-e-n-t-r-e using the Canadian spelling and you're giving me a lecture on the Canadian Westminster-based system and its immutable ...
• I actually do think your spelling is important. It betrays where your locus and focus are- either that or you are careless in your use of language- which I t...
• No, not everybody attacks the incumbent all the time. The gang-up on harper was far more comprehensive than the gang-up on martin. This is because the folks ...
• The political spectrum of ideas is generated by the policies that voters generate and then respond to. Just like the spectrum of philosophical ideas is gener...
• An idea and its measure are essentially inseparable. Before the advent of that philosophy, the label 'Existentialism' wasn't a label wafting in the wind wait...
• Hitler was considered socially acceptable in his country. So was Stalin. Yes their ideas are considered unacceptable in this country now and are therefore no...
• blah blah blah buddy- pissing in the wind.
• keep typing.
• more! faster! :)
• wow

• Actually why not talk about how many cents on the dollar Norway or Saudi Arabia make? No wait, ask yourself how many cents on the dollar the US makes. You w...

• If the NDP keeps climbing in QC: 1. At minimum Bloc could take the island of Montreal up the middle OR they completely supplant the liberals in Montreal. If ...

• Foxer- Not sure whether your theory of one day rogue poll works- I plotted out the 3 day average from the start of Nik's published results. The only variable...
• sorry- amend that- three out of five days thirty six or below.
• I understand how it works - that's what I used to generate different sequences of hypothetical results that would exactly correspond to each of Nik's average...
• you can have a situation where the average goes down in a three day uptick. For example in the sequence 42-31-33-35. In this case , we are discarding the 42 ...
• Actually, Nik gave a pretty comprehensive answer as to why his results might be different from that of other pollsters. Check it out on cpac. He's had the la...
• This is an excellent example. But which is the "rogue" poll? The 30% the third in a series of declining numbers or the 39%? Still, I guess in my earlier pos...
• well, the last post by michaelfox on the other thread got me thinking. It is possible to see five numbers show three days of dropping numbers even if there i...
• too bad about that- if we had the first two days- we would completely plot each and every last day's number ( and all be paralysed by the fear induced by the...
