small concerns: polls, and the ‘blog o sphere’
Sourcing for info on the internet’s one thing, and knowing the limits of what you have is quite the other. The mistake, I think, is to take opinions that arise out of a particular sub-culture and then collate that information for use, no matter how fundamentally flawed it is. I think it’ll be interesting to dissect a reply from Politics101 which comments on Mack Zulkifli’s post here. The above are useful for background.
From Politics101:
“It would be gullible for anyone to believe Kit was planning to use the results of the poll in its raw form and present it to parliament ala MPs” APs-style. Unless one knows for certain, one can only speculate on the form it would be used.”
