    it isn't actually if you think about it. Your ballot paper is matched to your entry in the electoral roll. So in effect, anyone with access to that information can find out how you voted.

    Maybe. But I think the statistics don't lie. No doubt there was a similar consensus on the previous polls that caused folks to vote the way they did rather than sound reason to the benefit of society at large. People are selfish, only thinking about themselves, you can count on that time and time again upon election.

    Previous cUK polls where the public / parliament voted more or less the same way. Somewhat interesting, no? Or misuse of the cUK time machine.
    The CUK poll this time is probably skewed by the Tories' "reform" of IR35.

    Try associating with people outside CUK for a change. You might think your genes are quite good.

    And nurture plays a big factor.....

    I don't get Labour bribing the electorate with buckets of cash. Yes taxes need to go up, but cash is the one thing the country does not have. There's no investment cash available. It's all be spent on B and DUP.

    Don't forget EU citizens, who generate around £15 billion for the economy - even though the alternative facts in the far right media would have you believe that they all live on benefits which they then send back to their families in foreign countries.
