Dunderdale Come Clean on Polling!

Premier Dunderdale says:

“Polls provide a snapshot in time. Responsible leaders do not govern based on polls.”

“We will continue to govern according to the vision, principles and platform on which we were elected.” 

A few questions for our Premier:

1. Does or has her party or government engaged any polling?

2. Why did her party or government engage polling?

3. Do any of her party members or political staffers involve themselves in non-scientific polling such as VOCM's question of the day or CBC NL's online questions or NTV's occasional viewer polls, or the Tely Polls?

4. Has there been any polls conducted on the Muskrat Falls proposed development - between Emera and Nalcor - by her government or party?

5. During the last provincial election did the PC Party of which Dunderdale is the leader engage or use any results of "non-solicited" polls?

6. Considering the election is a poll and a "snapshot in time" is Dunderdale prepared to go to the people by referendum on the Muskrat Falls proposed development?

7. Has the Premier, or her Party or staff ever used the results of polling to publicly state that support is with them?

8. What does Dunderdale attribute the latest "snapshot in time" result to?

9. What singular issue has garnered the most public debate over the past 10 months?

10. Considering the "snapshots in time" results continue to show loss of support for her and her government - does Dunderdale believe this is as a result of the proposed Muskrat Falls deal?
