They already have a ban on publication of polls within a month of voting day in some Scandinavian countries and have done for some decades. How that works in the internet age I don’t know. I’m not sure it can but it would be a relief to try it. There’s quite a lot of research to show that it influences voting behaviour significantly

I’ll vote for you, Brian. Just promise me that you won’t have a change of heart once you take your seat in the House.

Totally. You might want to extend the ban on polls, too, while you’re at it. Let’s say….three months out? That’ll work.

Yep agree.

And extend the same principle to (say) Rachael Stewart or her ilk. (NZH 7th Sept “Men in Suits” for eg)

A “bit” of (declared?) partisan observation is OK but unbalanced opinionated and insulting views … aint journalism … or “fair”! comment.

Same for the polly “Journalist” pundits.

Matthew Hooten Worst behaved commentator still gets a option to express his opinion and we are expected to take it on the chin.I think your summation hits this nail on the head.

Yes, I completely agree, so therefore your thought isn’t crazy…

Same goes with their analyses of policies and how the campaign is going. I get fed up with reading so and so’s opinions which are you state are no more valid than your or mine.
