I don't think it's breaking news that polls aren't always accurate to be honest, and many times in the past what the poll says and what people actually want are entirely different and it leaves you wondering just what did happen.

Here in the UK at the last election we had a similar experience. The polls showed that Labour and the conservative parties we're too close to call a winner, none of the press or media could decide who should win, and more importantly, neither could the electorate.

Voting day came, the results were announced and the conservative party blew everybody else away and got in with a massive overall majority. But...even now, most of the media can't decide if that's a good thing and nearly everybody who did vote are still undecided as to who they should have voted for, and that doesn't add up to me.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist at all, but the exit polls showed the two parties even. The electorate thought the parties were even. The media thought the parties were even, so where did all the conservative voters come from? It's not even as though it was a close run election. In about 98% of England, the conservative party candidate won his seat. How did that that happen in an election that was supposed to be the closest we'd ever seen?
