A new poll by Britain’s newest survey company has revealed that Michael Gove is both handsome and intelligent.

The new company, YouGove, polls members of the public countrywide using appealing inducements along the lines of ‘complete 100 polls to receive a £20 cash payment’, equating to a princely rate of 80p an hour.

The opinions expressed about shopping habits, brand recognition and TV watching patterns are then sold off to corporate giants for a small fortune. However, YouGove also gathers the political views of its slave labour force, collates the results and then publishes the views of Michael Gove and his close family.

Next week’s survey is planned to include 15 minutes worth of in depth questioning about banks and financial services and will conclude that Michael Gove is a fantastic Dad, the best government minister in the cabinet and does farts that smell of jasmine.
