Turbo, you are half right but you are forgetting about the other half - people can actually divorce their thoughts about polls from their candidate bias. The real problem is the media which always prefers developer's money therefore always supports incumbents who vote developments into being. Think of all those huge adverts for new housing. The Spec would die without it.

Therefore they manipulate coverage and slur 'fringe' candidates with their vomit logic. Future academics and historians will trace this out as the main reason Hamilton is as it is. Polls are just one way to manipulate unthinking minds - perhaps the best.

The problem with voting strategically is that the political class can never understand what people actually want if they do not vote their conscience. So I'm forever done with strategic voting AND reading the Spec/ watching CHCH. RTH, CATCH & Hamiltonian is all I need.
Please folks, vote your conscience.
