The Tyranny of the Polls [JOSEP-MANUEL SILVA I ALCALDE] The polls have become an important part of our democratic life. Polls, enquiries and barometers of opinion are often published and their influence in the political arena seems to be increasing day after day.

Polls themselves are neither good nor bad, but we should prevent our democratic system from becoming a tyranny of the polls.
