Polls are like drugs to political junkies, providing ever-higher highs the closer the election gets. But are they as reliable as some people think – or should they be banned, like others say? Pollster David Farrar, who carries out private polls for National, joins the show to explain the good, the bad and the ugly of polls. We also put him on the spot to predict the election outcome, and set out how National could win. Adam and Eugene give the flaming wheel of policy another spin, and enjoy a banger of a politics playlist. Links: Click here for every episode of the Tick. Tick. podcast.
