This is so unless the vast majority of the social networking site participants were the actual voters in that election. Granted the rate of penetration of the internet and social media in Saint Lucia, the reliability of that methodology and medium is at best questionable. There is no real science behind it.; September 17, 2013 at 7:50 PM

There is also an issue with a lack of concern for the absence of any rigour regarding any randomness in the sample.; September 18, 2013 at 10:32 AM

Are not predictions more valuable coming ahead of the events that they are supposed to foretell? But this one seems to be coming at us afterwards. Had the results not been so close, would we have got wind of it?; September 20, 2013 at 9:52 AM
