Is it easy to have say a weekly poll on voting intentions? Might be interesting. Ideally anoymynous and obviously only one vote per registered poster but if it's easy would be good to see if it changed and how near the EDF was to the local result. I really know nothing on how this sort of thing works on a Forum and if it's any hassle then not worth it but just a thought.

I have set one up here http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?12,451859,451859#msg-451859 to try out.


Is this a clear and unambiguous question...


Who will you vote for in the General Election?


Conservative

Green

UKIP

Labour

Liberal Democrat

I was just wondering (and please excuse my ignorance in this respect) how many "others" there in fact are? What I am trying to say is, if the number is relatively small, could you not list them all? It's just that it would be interesting to see how many votes, say, parties like the BNP (and NO I am NOT a supporter!!!) achieve. Just a thought...probably a stupid one, but a thought nevertheless.

Those are the only parties confirmed in the Dulwich and West Norwood constituency, 'others' in this case allows for people outside the area who use the forum however we would like to keep this a local poll.


You can see who the candidates are here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/election2010/results/constituency/b45.stm

Statistically I suspect that the sample is now big enough that from now any sudden or dramatic change (of more than a few percentage points) would suggest either foul play or 'manipulation' (Eg load of new members logging on and voting for a party as part of some strategy), so unless there's a seismic shift out their in the real world (eg Clegg is found to be a murderer)then I'm willing to punt that the Liberal Democrats will be the EDFs choice by some way.

So far all it has shown is that people who dick about on the internet all day* tend to support the Lib Dems.


*This is obviously because they are vastly intelligent and find the various other pressures of their jobs so easy to deal with that they have plenty of free time. Of course it is so let?s leave it at that shall we.

Absolutely - Tories are far more likely to be too busy making money and avoiding taxes; Labourites are far too busy scheming, backstabbing and trying to get their kids into high performing state schools miles from where they live; Liberal Democrats are a bunch of workshy, slackers and dreamers.

I hope the fact that there have been 1700ish views of the poll and only 200ish have participated isn't an indicator of how many will actually bother to vote on Election day.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
