There had been no pre-election opinion polls conducted until about 25 years ago.\u00a0 The opinion polls were first introduced in the developed countries, and followed in the developing countries later on.\u00a0 The problem here is now the opinion polls publications are used for election propaganda by the relevant parties involved in the election.\u00a0 In fact some parties conduct such opinion polls through agencies, called NGO\u2019s, in order to use the result in their favour.\u00a0\u00a0 The NGO\u2019s also would comply as to the demand of the parties concerned, and would release the result of the so-called opinion polls a few days before the election day.\u00a0 This would result in some self-serving politicians to change their allegiance to the party said to have the chance of winning the elections.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0People, who have not decided as to whom they should be voting also would (mostly) decide to vote for the winning party.\u00a0\u00a0 Therefore, just be aware of the honesty of any politicians who change his or her allegiance just a before the elections. What we, the people, have to observe here is whether the organization (NGO) engaged itself in conduction the opinion poll has been favourable to certain party or the poll conducted and the result of the same released in a fair manner.\u00a0 It is because we have to make sure, if the organizations also function, just like most of the media are there for only business and money making purpose, for money making or other sort of interests for them only.\u00a0\u00a0 Therefore people should be aware of such opinion polls and the media who engaged in such activities.\u00a0 The best thing for the people to do is to speak among themselves, examining as to what kind of good things and the benefits delivered to, as well as bad things caused to the country and the people by certain leaders or parties .<\/p>\n

There had been a time, that the media ( then it were only the print and radio) published (to some extent) the news without biases, even though there were some used for propaganda.\u00a0 But nowadays, all these media are engaged in money \/and other kind of profits making business, rather than publishing the truth.\u00a0 Even the facebook, that was mainly created for sharing personal thoughts and events of interests,\u00a0 have now become a medium of propaganda.<\/p>\n

PLEASE BE AWARE OF SUCH THINGS!<\/strong><\/p>\n
