Ex software engineer, now retired. Likes Climbing, Table tennis and prog metal music. Dislikes the Tories, Neoliberalism and Post-for-clicks commentators.
However, there is a remnant empire superiority racist bunch for whom the Tories were not racist enough but were the only ballot option available - now they have a voice and are emboldened to speak. Sickening!

There is something rotten about the state of British journalism at this moment in time. When a tiny extremist political party gets so much coverage then we have to assume that the UK media is corrupt.

I have 2 YouGov accounts. One where I say I vote Labour. The other I say reform.
The reform is constantly asked to participate in polls. The Labour account almost ever.
YouGov is a con.

How reliable is this projection and is there any non-political point to making it anyway?

The idea that polls are used to influence rather than gauge public opinion has been discussed by Peter Hitchens and Thomas Michael Norton-Smith, who suggest that opinion polling is a marketing technique adapted to politics, and its success is measured by its ability to influence the public.
