thats the method for TV ratings as they select a few households to have a device which notes what channel and program you are watching, most people dont vote in general elections anyway. So you can take what you want out of it.
This was no polling in the meaning that you have to ask a small number of people to get the general picture more or less correctly. This was voting which doesn't work this way.

Then get a referendum on the EU membership (as the British) and have done with it once and for all.
