An menm tan, enfliyans li nan elèksyon UK-sèl ak lòt, apab wè mwens, pwediktè — se enpòtan ase yo merite kritike.

At the same time, his influence in the UK elections – along with that of other, less visible, forecasters — is significant enough to warrant critique. Here is one example of the overwhelming influence of a dominant “narrative” in popular discourse. One pollster, Survation, conducted a survey before the election that in hindsight proved remarkably accurate. But they chose not to publish. Why the self-censorship?
