But surely $300 million "executive bonus" beats 260,000 private opinions? :mad:

No, the willingnes of the people who OWN the thing to sell trumps everything- Who would you like telling you whether you can sell your personal property or not?

Wouldn't read much into a solicited phone poll, I mean it's like a referendum isn't it, word the question right and in 80% of cases people will say NO! Just because they are generally scared of change.

Anway, I find it hard to believe they got 250,000+ respondents, these polls normally run at around 50-60,000, but can't seem to find any history on ninemsn. I just don't think it is that big of an issue with Joe public.:hmm:

I was thinking of responding on MSN but I only respond to polls not poles.

Howard here's the results for you. It's not a solicited phone poll it's from ninemsn web page. The QF result is at the top of the page.

OK, phone or internet makes no difference, the poll method is flawed!:hmm:
