Oh sorry, you made it sound like "corrupt" and "vindictive" were somehow relevant to the polling results.

The media seemed pretty surprised by the results, which indicates that your hypothesis is perhaps not accurate. But hey, keep doubling down, moving the goalposts, etc. I'll leave you to it.

Nah, just an observation. Or my hypothesis is accurate and they were just taking it at face value like you apparently did (assuming you are posting in good faith). The click bait appeal couldn't have hurt (although I agree with your expectation that they don't usually go for that). But dippy did pull their funding after all.

My goalposts never moved. Sorry you misinterpreted a few accurate adjectives.

Have a great evening!
