Labour’s secret polls are mind numbing home goals

Labour MP rescinds false-names advice
Senior Labour MP Rick Barker says Labour will tell its pollsters to use their own names in future, after it was revealed that he told volunteers to use false names. But he appeared to defend the use of a company front-name, not associated with the party, as a better way to get reliable data. Mr Barker told reporters yesterday that he had not intended to deceive, and the suggestion to use false names was aimed at making the pollsters feel more comfortable. He had not used one himself, but had told workers: "for example, I could be Bill".

Why the bloody hell is the former Minister of Toupees in the media? Whenever Rik Barker’s name pops up I start sweating, what’s he done and why is he doing it I immediately ask.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed Labour, but the mainstream media are SOOOOOO biased against you at the moment anything you do will be greeted by them like a fart in a church. Look at those shocking TVNZ 7 promo’s for Bill English or the fact that the msm don’t even point out the Government’s abuse of democracy by misusing urgency to ram legislation through. Is it a double standard, Christ yes, but that’s the way it is, you need to start relying on creating your own on-line media and not rely on the msm for anything! Sorry I digress, let’s get back into giving you the boot.

This should’ve been a non-story! I appreciate that Labour is broke and that Barker running the polling out of his office was probably the cheaper option, but you have to do it properly, yes people are going to be more honest in a poll if they think the information is going via a 3rd party, but that’s no defence for creating that illusion for cheaper purposes. Knowing the msm is going to be as fair and balanced as Fox News, you have to be much better than this, can I just remind you where the attack should be? That rather than fucking around having to explain secret names and Poll companies that don’t exist and the criticism this opens you up to, The Nats are screwing over the country, let’s just remind ourselves what we are fighting against here…

Advice for Rick on running Polls:

1: If you have to save money, do polling the way National does it, directly through Kiwiblogh
2: NEVER appoint Green Party members to do anything! They are too ethical!
3: For crying out loud, put your bloody hand in your bloody pocket and make sure you buy the researchers pizza and a couple of beers so that they all aren’t grumbling away later on bitching about the secrecy thing until one of them (always a Green Party person) say’s, ‘Yeah, I’m gonna tell someone’.
4: If Rick Barker turns up in the News you know you have failed.
