This poll is totally meaningless. They ask people who they would bet ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS on to win the election. Well, guess what? any SANE person would bet on the Conservatives "winning" the election (assuming we define "winning" as getting more seats than any other party - as opposed to what happens post-election on a vote on a hypothetical throne speech). If someone was willing to bet $1,000 with me on which party would end up with the most seats and I could bet on the Tories at EVEN odds - i would already be making a list of all the things I would buy myself with the $1,000 I would be 99.999999999999999% certain to have in my pocket on May 3rd! There is still the huge question of whether it will be a majority or not etc...but seriously - who cares who people think will get the most seats - people in BC have been voting CCF/NDP in large numbers fo the past 80 years without having the slightest expectation that the NDP would win the election nationally. I'm actually amazed that only 56% of people in BC expect the Tories to win the election. Can I have the names and numbers of the delusional other 44% so I can bet $1,000 with each of them and become a a millionaire?
Seriously, there have probably been about 200 polls in the past years and half that have all put the Tories in first place by a significant margin - any person paying the slightest bit of attention would know that the Tories will get the most seats - surprise, surprise.
Is there ANYONE on babble who seriously thinks that the Tories won't be the largest party on May 3rd? If so please PM me and I'd be happy to bet ANY AMOUNT of money with you!
