		<description>Bizarro.

I was playing with those figures (mostly because I reacon polls from July should be weighted much less), but the Morgan poll doesn&#039;t seem to make such a big difference to the final make up of the govt - just changes the ratio between big/small parties.

It is interesting to see that the most important factor of this election will be whether the Greens make it over 5% or not. I&#039;m guessing that if there is any doubt that they will slip under we&#039;ll be seeing a lot more of Helen and Jeanette in photos together.</description>

		<description>Roy Morgan has proven to be the least reliable of the big three (c/w Newspoll, ACNielsen) in Australia. I wouldn&#039;t get to excited by inflated left-wing numbers.
