Abstract
- The article discusses the reasons the Pre-Election Polls of the 2015 General Elections made incorrect predictions on the government coming to power in Great Britain. Topics discussed include polls predicting a hung parliament with many also predicting the Labour Party would be the largest party, the Conservative Party winning a small majority in the House of Commons, and an inquiry by the British Polling Council into what went wrong with the predictions.
