One thing which pollsters have not historically called within margin of error would be general elections between Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May.

Exit polls are good though. I usually just wait for them and then start celebrating or screaming in rage and get to bed by 12 or so.

Which is at least more of a position than brexiteers plan of voting leave then trying to satisfy everyone's different idea of what leaving actually involves.

It means the country has to wait two years before being destroyed by US interests rather than immediately.
