Do you think anyone sat up over night to see how it turned out?

Do they have Opinion Polls or ……I don’t have an Opinion Polls…?

I bet all the pollsters were correct …..and no bets were taken.
You always get a 100% turn out where there’s only one candidate.

The Poles might have an opinion but opinion polls in Russia would be pointless.

I was thinking of standing against Putin but I value my life.

If you stood against Putin you'd probably be a foot taller.

Because the peoplehave always been led to believe that their woes are the fault of the west and not their own leaders.

I think we can safely say that there isn’t a lot of use for swingometers over there…

Micrometers possibly.

Stop the presses and hold the phones, Putin wins by a landslide. Stand by for another mobilisation. More Russian blokes who should be at home living their lives in peace, thrust into the meat grinder in Ukraine.

Looks like the Russian equivalent of the Monster Raving Loony Party triumphs yet again.

There’s been a recount in the Russian election and it appears Putin didn’t get as big a victory as anticipated ….. and while still winning he only got a disappointing 99.999999999999999999999999% of the vote.
An inquiry will be held into the failure.

Polonium sandwich or novichok stew for whoever the 'failure' is then.
