Oh dear. Thanks to today’s technological advances, it’s never been easier to stay in touch with contacts. However, one member of the British Polling Council discovered today that this is not always a good thing.
Vote Leave’s Dominic Cummings complained to the BPC about the Confederation of British Industry’s EU survey, which was conducted by YouGov. After receiving the email complaint, staff discussed his claims, but failed to notice that Cummings was cc’d into the conversation. In the email, Nick Moon wrote that ‘at first glance the odious Cummings might be onto something’ before admitting that the ‘survey looks pretty dodgy’.
Given that the BPC — which regulates all UK polling — ought to remain politically neutral, Mr S advises Cummings to consider making a new complaint now that he has been labelled ‘odious’ by the organisation.
