THE NEW NDP/SCLC POLL: ULP 10 AND NDP 5
Well, it seems the more the NDP does their POLLING, the WORSE it is GETTING for them. Like I told you guys, REFERENDUM is REFERENDUM and GENERAL ELECTION is GENERAL ELECTION. By the TIME the GENERAL ELECTION is READY to be called, I am TOTALLY CONFIDENT that the SITUATION is going to be WORSE for the NDP.
You cannot WIN a GENERAL ELECTION talking all that NEGATIVE PROPAGANDA CRAP, which the NDP has been SPEWING from since the REFERENDUM, because it will CATCH UP to you EVENTUALLY.
And like I said, you cannot COMPARE what took place in the REFERENDUM to what is likely to take place in the GENERAL ELECTION. Because during the REFERENDUM you had one party playing POLITICS with the PROCESS while the other was just EDUCATING the PUBLIC on the CONTENT of the PROPOSED CONSTITUTION. How people took that to mean the NDP is going to win the GENERAL ELECTION is just MIND-BOGGLING to me.
Like I said, when everything is SETTLED and when the ULP POLITICAL MACHINE gets ROLLING for the GENERAL ELECTION, there can be no DOUBT which party is going to win, because it will come down to KITCHEN TABLE ISSUES, LEADERSHIP, QUALITY OF THE CANDIDATES and GOOD GOVERNANCE and PLANS and POLICIES. When you SPEAK to those ISSUES, it is not even a CONTEST of any WORTH, because the ULP will BEAT the NDP every SINGLE TIME.
As the WEEKS and MONTHS go by, the ULP is SIMPLY GOING to get STRONGER and STRONGER...this I have NO DOUBT. So what looks now like a 10-5 TRASHING of the NDP will be a 15-2 TRASHING when the REAL NUMBERS come in from the GENERAL ELECTION.

Vincy Patriot...ALL I ASK OF YOU AND OTHER RALPHITES OF THIS FORUM...IS TO SHOW THE RAW DATA OF THIS POLL..You said this poll was done by a reputable pollster from the region...WHO IS THIS POLLSTER?..you said it was SHOWN TO YOU...who showed you this poll?...if this poll was leaked..why is it that the ULP folks are NOT making it available with all of the related information?...afterall this is not LIFE OR DEATH...IT'S JUST A PHUCKING POLL...so why all the secrecy?
Now you said "In any event, constituency data would be suspect since the ulp hasnt announced its slate of candidates yet...AND because we'll soon have 2 new constituencies"...really? bro have you ever done a poll of any kind?....well I did several polls before and i totally disagree with that position...YOU DO NOT NEED THE ULP TO DECLARE THEIR SLATE OF CANDIDATES TO DO A POLL WITHIN ANY CONSTITUENCY...ITS ALL ABOUT ASKING THE RIGHT TYPE OF QUESTIONS...
Again, show me the raw data on these polls gathered by the pollster...some folks are so untruthful on this forum; that i need to see the genuine article before i accept these figures as gospel...you coming here giving me these unsubstatiated figures and "stories"...does nothing to sway my disbelieve about these phantom polls.

Saadiss, Saadiss, Saadiss.
Am I a ralphite because I have seen the poll, or because I said it contains data that you don't like?
Whether you believe or disbelive the poll is really of little consequence to me. It is not my purpose to convince you of whether or not it exists. Like you say "this is not life or death... its just a phucking poll." -- which makes me wonder why you are so worked up over it and casting aspersions on my honesty. We can disagree all the time Saadiss, but i've never had reason to call you a liar. And I would hope that we had enough basic courtesy that you wouldn't call me one either.
Now. This site has about 10 active members. There's me, you, powa, vincy, andy, vince, femme, and a few others who I can't remember right now. Do you think I have time to be hatching some elaborate dishonest plot to... to... to what, exactly? And do you think that I should reveal the details of something I saw in semi-confidence to the 10 of you... to.. to.. to what?!? My brother, you must have an inflated sense of yourself, your friends, or this intimate little corner of the internet.
I will not tell you who showed me. so there. and if you knew as much as you say you know about polling, you would know who the pollster is from what i have already said. i assume the ulp is not going to release the poll data for multiple reasons -- 1, cuz it has info that is not flattering to them either; 2, cuz i may compromise their source; 3, cuz they have done similar polls (one of which i have also seen) and want to keep the details private for strategic reasons; 4, cuz its just a phucking poll. I had the info beforehand, and didn't share it either. That was powa's doing.
No, i've never done a poll of any kind. but i have read quite a few. i never said that the ulp had to declare their candidates to do a poll constituency-by-constituency. I said that what I SAW did not have constituency data... then i speculated that any such data would be suspect because of the lack of declared candidates. You can go around and ask constituents if they prefer ulp or ndp in every constituency -- but coming up with a 10-7, 17-0 or 9-8 result may depend on little things like the name of the candidate. Will the name hans king matter more or less than luke brown? Will people prefer ellsworth john or michelle fife vs. cummings? Will clayton burgin be coming back? How about girlyn miguel? How about jerrol thompson? etc. will your girl anesia be running somewhere? it might influence a vote or two, no?
Further, based on the number of people polled, it would amount to an average of less than 100 people per consituency. i dunno how statistically reliable that would be. Want more reasons? we all know there will be 17 constituencies, why waste time polling based on boundaries that wont be in existence by the time the election rolls around? They may have done it, but I didn't see that part. simple.
I won't waste my time to come on here talking about phantom polls or making up facts. I trust that you won't either. Lets try to keep it at that level, and avoid the whole liar liar pants on fire accusations. It's beneath u.

Nice try bro...when folks come on the forum and speak of polls and one is to take into account the "history" of such person on this forum...I have to question the existence of such poll IF THERE IS NO SUBSTANTIATED INFO ON IT....I have no problem with the result of the polls...What I have a problem with is when certain people on this forum of such partisan persuasion would just speak glibly of a Poll without giving any related information on the poll...You came on and coroborate the "story" of such a poll, but in the same vain of the other folks; failed to show any proof of such a poll being done.
What you want me to do is TO TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH and accept meekly and murmur not; your explanation to the existence of such a poll...well son, I am a bonafide skeptic...I do not accept things so easily...You may be absolutely correct, but the issue is IF I BELIEVE YOU OR NOT; based on the information provided thus far on these polls...I DO NOT BELIEVE YOU.
Vincypatriot, I do have a teeny weeny respect for your intellect and so when I engage you; I HOLD YOU TO A HIGHER STANDARD THAN SAY, DE POWA OF DE VINCY...who i have absolutely none for...therefore; I do not expect the same level of discourse coming from you..so when you say, that there is a poll...I expect you to show me credible proof that such a poll exist...if you want the discussion to be raised, well you have to raised the level of information being put forth..you know fully well that in an "academic" setting...if you were to reference a poll...it is expected of you to show the SOURCE OF THIS POLL,,,or otherwise you will be reprimanded severely for undocumented information...I am just saying bro. So you can stick to your story...until I find or given substantiated information on these polls...I will stick to my side of the story...If you want to take umbrage to what I have stated well thats a matter for you.
Your ignorance of conducting polls is quite glaring indeed...the very questions that you are asking are the very questions that one will used as a basis to create a poll...for instance, you stated "Will the name hans king matter more or less than luke brown?".. this is a PERFECT QUESTION FOR ANY POLLSTER WORTH IS SALT TO USE TO GET A SENSE OF WHO IS BEST SUITED TO RUN FOR OFFICE!!...This is why I said that there is no need to have either parties declare their slate of candidates...it all depends on the type of questions being asked...there is a methodology of using hypothetical candidates....so If I were NDP I would do a poll on Anesia to see if she is indeed viewed in the same light as A POLITICAL CANDIDATE ...as she was during the referendum; maybe some folks will have an issue with her as a pure politician...a well prepared poll will give you a sense of such thinking.
On a slightly different tangent...If I were you, I would desist from making assumptions about people's character on a forum. You do not know me, I do not know you...nor do I know anyone on this forum...My interaction with folks is based purely on what they write on the forum...and not by WHO I THINK THEY ARE...so you telling me that certain action or behavior is "beneath me" is neither here or there...such pseudo psychology doesn't work on me... I suggest you stick to the issues and forget about being some sort of morality police.
Anyway, Vincypatriot, as you are aware, polling is not the panacea for getting things right....tnor will it help the ULP to retain power...the one inherit weakness of polling...PEOPLE LIE!!...lol.
Peace out.

Point taken. From now on, I will assume that nothing is beneath you.
The rest of it, is not really worth rehashing. I said I saw a poll, you said you don't believe that the poll exists. Fair enough. I'm sure both of us will sleep ok tonight.

Andy, sometimes I think that you’re just a ROBOT gone haywire. Do you UNDERSTAND what the TITLE of the THREAD is about? I am sure you do. But since you CANNOT SPEAK to the ISSUE at hand, you’re only left to REPEAT the same TIRED ISSUES that can be found in every THREAD you post in.
This thread is about a SPECIFIC ISSUE and a RELEVANT one at that, because it has to do with who do is the BETTER LEADER to GOVERN SVG and how IMPORTANT is the INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT to the DEVELOPMENT of SVG. These two ISSUES alone are HIGHLY CRITICAL to the DEVELOPMENT and FORWARD PROGRESS of our NATION, so it is quite puzzling why you would ask say “ALL THIS IS TO DISTRACT FROM THE ISSUES.”
The only DISTRACTING in this THREAD is your SILLY POSTS.

IT'S ALLIN AN EFFORT TO DISTRACT FROM THE ISSUES TELL US IF THE GOVERNMENT OFFICES CAN MAKE PHONE CALLS......TELL US IF PEOPLE ARE GETTNG PAID........ TELL US IF THE DRUGS ARE IN THE HOSPITAL......THESE ARE THE THINGS AFFECTING THE EVERYDAY POOR PEOPLE LIVES DOWN THERE, AND NO POLL CAN CHANGE THAT.

Andy, is there any reason why you're being so ANAL?
If you want to DISCUSS those ISSUES of yours, which we have DONE like a BILLION TIMES, just CREATE a THREAD SPECIFICALLY related to them and you can DISCUSS them to your HEART’S CONTENT.
I have even CREATED a THREAD for you and the others, so that you guys can SPEW your HATE RALPH MANTRA till eternity. But just like I thought, you couldn't KEEP it up.
What is CLEAR to me is that you do not want to DISCUSS ANYTHING unless it is about RALPH THIS and RALPH THAT, and so when THREADS are CREATED to SPEAK to a SPECIFIC TOPIC or ISSUE, one can GUARANTEE that ANDY the ROBOT is going to TALK about the SAME THING that have ALREADY been ADDRESSED in NUMEROUS THREADS.
I know what that is all about, but it is not GOING to WORK with me.
Again, if you want to discuss those issues, create a thread for them and we can DEBATE them for an ETERNITY, if that is what you would like.
This THREAD is about a POLL DONE by the NDP/SCLC which STATES that Dr. GONSALVES is HEAD and SHOULDERS a BETTER LEADER than Arnhim Eustace and also that the INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT at ARGYLE is PARAMOUNT to the DEVELOPMENT of SVG. But more IMPORTANTLY, the ULP would RETAIN GOVERNANCE in SVG.
It is those ISSUES that you NEED to ADDRESS, because them are what this THREAD is about.
