"Despite all your hard work to survey 1000 people, significant differences between what you measured and the real political preferences among the PollLand population persist.
Those differences can be completely attributed to chance: even in a survey of 1000 people voters for some parties will be overrepresented and voters for other parties will be underrepresented...
Of the 64 polling results, only 3 were correct up to one decimal. So, giving importance to small differences in polling results is doesn't make much sense. Displaying decimals misleadingly gives the impression of accuracy"
