The funniest piece of news I've read this week.

I did chuckle at that.

Im still laughing from the night of election when the first exit poll reports came in after 10pm, i have seen bbc flap so much in one evening, best tv of the year so far.

Following that they then had an inquest for a week on how could the polls be so wrong, had it been the other away around nothing would had been said.

"Impartial"

Still laughing.

I thought the pollsters had the inquest. If not, maybe they should have.
I'm going to have to ask as to which way it was biased and, if possible, something concrete to confirm this.
I would also assume that there would certainly have been similar inquiries if the vote had gone the other way...why wouldn't there be? People are paid good money to conduct these surveys. They need to produce pretty accurate results or just not bother.

naydam the above people dont undertsand what you said

Heavily biased towards labour, it stood out a mile. When it became apparent that they and the Lib Dems were suffering heavy casualties it was like a wake in the studio.

Not forgetting the constant digs at UKIP, reporting on every misdemenanour by a party member, even AFTER they had been stood down from the party.

I have never seen such a biased approach - the greens and ukip were written out of most of it and only concentrating on the three main parties despite the fact that ukip were polling much more than the libdems

But it was a programme about election results. Personally, I thought that the airtime was reasonably distributed, bearing in mind that they had no control over which result would prove most newsworthy at any particular time.

I lot of forumites remark upon this supposed bias...I don't detect it. That is NOT to say that it doesn't exist, Although, in the past, I have seen complaints on here of BBC bias from both left-leaners AND right-leaners on the same subject, at the same time!
You will ALWAYS see bias if the opinion expressed is less radical than your own. Just my opinion, of course.

Cloth-eared BBC bint clearly said 'The three main parties will be in live debate tonight.'

Unfortunately for her, she didn't understand the current poll results going across the bottom of the screen for hours, or she was told to ignore them. 

The 3 main Parties are the three with the most of the poll, and like it or lump it, they were the Tories, Labour and UKIP.

But according to her, they were the Tories, Labour and the Lib-Dems, as they were going to the live debate, and not UKIP.

I would disagree that the three main parties have the most votes. I would say that it would be meant to indicate parliamentary seats. And, of course, at that time, it would have been the three parties mentioned. I must admit that I am not aware of exactly when an elected MP loses his/her title but, at the time of the announcers perceived inaccuracy, she was probably correct.
It would certainly NOT have involved UKIP at any time before or after the election results.

That, of course, is just my opinion and I am frequently wrong.

The way I understood it is that Cameron had to 'dissolve' parliament before the election, therefore there isn't one.

If by some miracle, the Monster Raving Loony Party, UKIP and the Sharia Law party were leading in the polls on the screen when she announced the 'live debate' they would be the three main parties in the live debate.

What happened at the last election is neither here nor there.

In that case her terminology was totally wrong. There are, in effect, NO 'main' parties. In fact, there re no parties at all.
A very exposed time in the nation's defences. We are without government and woefully exposed to potentially disastrous events.
Like a Hermit crab when changing shells. That is frightening!
