MODERATORS
Polls are problematic in that they reinforce their own predictions. It's especially frustrating in recent years when you're bombarded with them even when there's no election in sight. Problem is, governing parties are usually busy governing while populists are campaigning 24/7. Media has made a huge effort to reinforce the trend and get people used to living in a far right era. Polls are unhelpful and destort democracy to a dangerous degree.
