according to this poll conducted by landline telephone and completed by the type of person who has the time or inclination to spend ten minutes on the phone ranting to a stranger about politics....

The polls are utter poo poo and the only poll worth paying any attention to is the exit poll and that's still poo poo

on that topic has there ever been an exit poll that ended up getting the final result totally wrong? They always seem to be right to within a few seats in my experience.

I might be stoking controversy in this here ukmt in that I think polls are not completely useless. parts of them contain information that is useful. But the actual headline voting figures do rely on predicting turnout which is notoriously difficult, and the seat calculations are basically a guess. Also it's going to take a while for campaigning to properly have an effect on voting intentions, the manifestos aren't even out yet and a lot of people aren't really paying attention so far.

really interested in seeing how the scotland-only polls turn out, hopefully a few get done. most recent one was from just before the election was called.

Yes.

And one thing to keep an eye on is the trend for each pollsters poll as opposed to the headline numbers. Each poll is put together based on the same assumptions and a trend showing the numbers moving in your direction within an individual pollsters polls is always a good one. Of course the way polls are reported on often makes that difficult to do.

Some polls are also just generally lower quality than others be it due to smaller samples or lovely execution, etc.

quote:

Perhaps even more shocking is the council tax bill on Cross’s one-bed flat, which has spiralled to £3,000 this year and is heading to £4,500 next year – or more than the tax on a multimillion-pound mansion in Mayfair.

...

Why not? Cross blames what he describes as the “punitive” service charge on the one-bed flat. Last year the charge was £562 every month – equal to £6,744 a year, although this year it dropped back to £519 a month. On top of that, the ground rent is a further £415 a year. In other words, a retired person could be paying nearly all their state pension in service and ground rent charges.

Lol what the gently caress, that's like >800 quid a month in bills for a lovely one bed in a Kent seaside town of all places.

That's more than my studio rent in a mid-range city FFS.

You can't compare it to the rent in a flat because it is a fundamentally different charge.

The underlying problem seems to be that the way it was sold, initially priced, and marketed. It was as if it was just a standard flat in a seaside town. The fact is that the services provided to that flat are more extensive than it would be to a standard flat (cleaning, 24h alarm response were the two mentioned), hence the higher service charges, and the pool of eligible buyers seriously restricted. It is basically like a care home minus the 24h nursing care and with the great "opportunity" to sink a slew of your own money into the construction.

Anyway, it seems to have been designed to fleece people who didn't fully grasp what they signed up for (with a bit of tax haven spice sprinkled over the top to boot). What they were selling there was probably the perfect thing for a very select set of people but I think most ended up in exactly the poor schmuck in the article did.
