I have been present for every British general election since 1987. This time, I could not understand how the incumbent Conservative coalition could have such positive policy results — low unemployment and high economic confidence — yet remain tied or even behind their Labor opponents in the months leading up to the vote. On election night, I finally got it: The polls were wrong.
And that is the first of three important lessons Thursday’s British election can teach us in America. CONT.
