More or Less

May 12, 2008 5:32 am

Today’s “More or Less” looks at whether - after successfully predicting the results of the London Mayoral election - Internet-based opinion polls are the future. Also, 400,000 rejected votes in that election: is the British National Party justified in saying something fishy is afoot?

Also, is it really true that the death rate rises when doctors are on strike?  And we may also be asking how anyone figures out the street price of drugs.

4.30pm BST, Radio 4 – or thereafter streaming from the website.
