Is this not a opinion poll??
Posted on: May 2, 2009
While browsing I found this http://mapapps.rediff.com/elections/elections.php. If you do not want to spend time by going to that page let me brief it for you, they (rediff) call it a game and what it has is Indian political map browsing through it you can reach your (in fact any) constituency and click on it and then vote for the party / alliance that you want to win from that constituency. Using this data they show which alliance is going to win how many seats.

The idea is great but as you may be knowing the election commission has banned all the opinion and exit polls and for the obvious reason that is people may get biased by seeing the results of it.
Coming back to this game, rediff has done really smart job by calling it a ‘election game’ but I think it is an opinion poll and opinion polls on net are particularly bad because it is a opinion of net users who are usually from urban and high end society and chances of it being biased and far from reality are more.
This is my opinion so what is yours?
