I was quite surprised at the results of Weekly Internet Poll #59 as published in the Nepali Times Issue of 15-21 Nov. The percentages as per the actual poll (still accessible at www.nepalnews.com) are presented below with the corresponding figures published in your paper in parenthesis:
1. Interim all-party Government - 24.9% (33.4%)
2. Constituent assembly elections - 33.4% (32.7%)
3. Reinstatement of Parliament - 9% (24.8%)
4. None Of Above - 32.7% (9.1%)
The discrepencies are quite serious. Are the mistakes a result of editing or a result of an attempt at intentional juggling of figures?
