Probably they will silence him and the truth will never be revealed and the whole thing never mentioned again. Its a disgrace Joe.

It was a public gathering, advertised on public broadcaster radio, not his personal private invited audience.

Then, the skilled mathematicain that he is :rolleyes: counted the number of hands raised for each party, scribbled it down on the back of an envelope, and is now claiming this will be the result of the election? There is honestly so much wrong with that it's difficult to know where exactly to start. As scientifically accurate as a Lahv lahn Text Poll - except the one where Martin McGuiness was predicted to be the President of course so to speak, becvuase Mr. Duffy did not like that result. :rolleyes:

That changes everything! :rolleyes: WHOY do newspapers, media outlets, and all these politicial parties enage the likes of Behaviour & Attitudes, Red C, Kantar etc. to conduct unbiased and scientifically robost qualitative and quantitative research at significant cost when they could engage "Joe Duffy Research and dat At Me Own Private Meetings So To Speak Ltd." to conduct predictive analysis polls instead? They'd get more accurate data, it would likely be cheaper, and Mr. Duffy could add a few more scheckels to the piggy bank so to speak. As Asitis would say "sure what harm, Mr. Duffy is single handedly growing the economy and it's a win, win, win". :rolleyes: I have a better idea - cancel the election completely (think of all the money it would save); and have Mr. Duffy open his envelope and reveal who the next Gubbermint should be based on his poll. SImples.
