They have to have a good memory in order to be consistant and not to be

But these polls were consistant and wrong.
But all wrong in the same way.
And the same degree.
This implies collusion.
To what end?
They crib off of one another to save money or is there something more
sinister?


What it means is that people told the pollsters the same thing,


With many of them, that they were undecided about how they would vote.

but that thing wasn't what all of them did in the end.


Yes, it isn't possible to be undecided when you vote,
you normally do have to decide who you will vote for.

The other problem with polls is that they don’t just
ask those whether they will bother to vote and only
consider what those who say they plan to vote say
who they will vote for.

Its hardly surprising that the polls all got it wrong
given those two factors.
