Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.

That just sums up so much that’s so very wrong with our politics and media.

If YouGov can subversively and unscrupulously pick and choose what survey results to release. It is reasonable that they take the same manipulative attitude to their data gathering, algorithms, who's polled, weighing. The conclusion is that even after that, the result was so bad they had to hide it.
