The arrival of European powers in the Pacific ushered in an era of significant change, impacting not just social and economic structures but also the very mechanisms of decision-making. Traditional modes of governance, characterized by talk-stories, consensus building, and clan councils, encountered new polling methods introduced by colonial administrations.

As the polls clearly predicted, Keir Starmer’s Labour Party won a convincing landslide victory in the recent UK General Election. Labour had held what looked like an unassailable lead for a long time before the 4th July election, and so it turned out. While the pre-election polls largely got it right, and the exit poll on the day was even more accurate, there were a few discrepancies and trends that only got picked up late on.

In all likelihood, by this time tomorrow the UK will have a new Prime Minister and a new party in power. That’s according to the polls, which are all quite unanimous that Labour is heading for a landslide victory on a similar scale to Tony Blair’s 1997 victory. The Conversative Party, which has been in power since 2010, is on course for potentially the worst result in modern times.
