Politics by Opinion Poll

A lot of people seem to think that we should *do* our politics by opinion poll.

And most of the time our politicians agree - because that is what gets them to act in either a good or bad way. Public opinion polling has replaced smart thinking and good governance in Canberra and elsewhere.

It's why the dimwits currently in power nearly lost the last election - relying on opinion polls to drive their policy development processes. Because they forgot about the silent majority who want *thinking* to drive our policy responses.

Question: Why else would Gillard and Co. introduce the "Malaysian Solution"? Answer: Focus Groups.

Well let them suck on this "Opinion Poll" and react accordingly.
