    Ross normally these polls will just survey 1,000 people. That, as I understand it, appears to be the norm. That way they are convinced they get a cross section of the population and get it with accuracy. As pollsters generally seem to know what they are doing I guess this method must be the best one. Thats probably why you and other members were not canvassed.

    BBC's Question Time get many more applications for the audience than they let in. They carefully 'pollsterise' the audience beforehand so that they get a cross section of the voting community. I found that to be the case when we went to the one in Dover not so long ago. I just mention this to highlight the same method used.
