ALEX BRUNO A SNAKE OIL SALES MAN

ALEX BRUNO A SNAKE OIL SALES MAN

Today Alex released his Bogus poll, which claims the opposition will win 90% of the seats thus the opposition will win 18 seats.......Utter Rubbish

Political Scientist that conduct polls must have a master's or PhD to be taken seriously. 

At the level of Alex Bruno he would need to be supervised by a senior political Scientist - one working at a reputable University that is part of group of professionals pouring over current affairs of a country or region for a minimum of 35 years. 

If Alex Bruno was under the tutelage of  Professor the Hon. Carl Stone, OM from the University of the West Indies we would have taken him seriously.  Professor Stone pioneered the systematic study of voting behavior  in Jamaica. He brought public opinion polling to the Jamaican political process and using empirical evidence developed a body of ideas about the Jamaican electorate. 

Has Mr. Bruno done much of that? No!! 

Professor Stone was particularly concerned to educate public opinion and to raise the level of Civic awareness and participation in public life. Through his work he professor Stone raised public debate on a wide range of issues to an analytical and empirical level. The late professor Stone undertook extensive research and writing on public policy, agricultural policy, work attitudes, comparative political economy, and public-sector/private sector relationships. 

Has Alex Bruno done any of that to inform his polls? No!! 

Compare the pollsters that the labour party engages and see the results . 

The recent evaluations of a statement made by the Prime Minister was analysed by Peter Wickham and found no lasting negative impact since he is in fact the lead Minister for the public service. 

Now the length of time it takes our pollsters to conduct a poll in 21 constituencies in Dominica compared to Alex Bruno incomplete polls sheds light again that this young man needs to be supervised for purposes of efficiencies and effectiveness.
