Reading a few comments here and thinking about yours, I realize that it could make a huge difference.
At present, I see the UK as a 2 or 3 party system, none of whom represent me (or a number of the people I speak to). Now say all the polls had been manipulated and the green party had a demonstrable chance of getting in, then I would likely vote for them. At present no reason.
First past the post is really the weakest form of democracy possible. The very phrase "tactical voting" demonstrates that it fails in its purpose.
But we're not talking about "all the polls" but "online polls." Here in the U.S., nobody bases their voting decisions on what Fox's or MSNBC's online polls say.
