    Yes, I was contacted last week by a Millward Brown Lansdowne representative. I think they usually only contact 1000 people so the odds of you getting called are very small.

    Just to give you an idea. I have no political affiliations, I have never partaken in one before and my phone no is ex directory. So I do believe it is totally random.

    I got a good laugh out of the question at my satisfaction rating for the party leaders. I basically said I was dissatisfied with them all :rolleyes:

    I used to work for Millward Brown. Yeah, it's totally random digit dialing. It's amazing how many phone numbers don't even connect though! Especially 085 numbers!
