发帖数: 5601 | 1 Scottish independence referendum: with no exit polls isn't there a
democratic deficit?
The absence of an exit poll means we'll be robbed of a post-vote analysis of
how this momentous referendum was decided
James Ball, theguardian.com, Thursday 18 September 2014
Exit polls are the best form of voting-related data we can ever get our
hands on. They're collected by large numbers of researchers standing outside
polling stations and asking tens of thousands of people how they voted - as
well as collecting a little demographic information, such as age, gender,
race or social class.
This detail and data is what lets academics, journalists and politicians
alike work out what really happened and how voters act. No other way of
getting the information is nearly as reliable.
