I'm using The Thought Box to express in writing some of the thoughts and Ideas that form in my befuddled brain. Topics will vary. I will try to post one blog per week. Thanks for reading, and don't forget to comment; even if you think it's all drivel.

We Cannot Trust Any Lok Sabha Opinion Polls
If the argument from Timothy Ferris' 'The Science of Liberty' is to be believed, the collective wisdom of the average citizen is a good predictor of results. That would mean that any opinion poll would be able to correctly predict the result of a general election before hand. If this is considered to be true then one would assume that the BJP would clearly lead in the 2014 polls. But this may not necessarily be the case. The reason is due to unreliable opinion polls.
Why are opinion polls so unpredictable, particularly in India ?
