Sky News host Peta Credlin says "we can only hope that the British people get it right" when they go to the polls in this Thursday's UK election. "It's a standard ploy three days shy of an election that the side that's behind releases 'confidential polling' showing it's ahead in key marginal seats in order to keep up morale," she said.
"And the side that's ahead, also releases 'secret polling' showing, shock horror, that it still might lose, in order to combat complacency and tactical voting." Mr Credlin said "anyone who has ever run a campaign" knows the important thing is "not to put too much faith in polls" but to have the best policies, the best candidates and the best campaign.
