One clear winner emerged from the May elections. Curiously, the media managed to ignore the victory. In stark contrast to the aftermath of last year’s general election, when everyone attacked the performance of the opinion polls, I can find no journalist or politician this time praising the pollsters for getting London, Scotland and Wales right.
This does not mean that they achieved perfection. But, if the polls were judged like films or TV shows, they would deserve four stars out of five.
