Opinion polls should not play an important role in the political decision-making process because they indicate only what is popular not what is the right or wrong position for our leaders to take

Completely agree. We do not live in a direct democracy, thank God. We live in a republic featuring representative democracy. The people have a voice which they express at the ballot box. If they disagree with the leaders they have elected, they can ote them ot the next time around.
I prefer my leaders to actually LEAD, not make decisions of state by consulting the latest numbers to see if lesbian Hispanics between 25 and 31 concur.

Wouldn't popular make it right? If there is an overwhelming percentage of people who agree to one thing, or have a similar opinion, wouldn't it make it right in their mind? MP's are just people too. I think there should be more votes that will make decisions. Make the people happy. Try out something new. IF the new proposal dioesn't work out, it can then be changed. At least then voters feel like what they have to say matters.

That's a good question. I think they are necessary because our elected officials have no other way to learn the public opinion on an issue. I guess I disagree. To agree with you I'd have to believe that what is popular is not information our politicians should have. They are elected to represent us, so they do need to know what we think on an issue. They are overused, I believe.

agree - but they sometimes give you options where none of them are of your positive opinion - there in lies the fallacy. Your are giving a better worst answer and not your opinion
