observer Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Interesting that in this poll, as well as the national polls; more folk are against the individual main political Parties than are for them - and in the real poll, around 30% of the electorate won't even vote at all.

Eagle Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Interesting that in this poll, as well as the national polls; more folk are against the individual main political Parties than are for them - and in the real poll, around 30% of the electorate won't even vote at all. Â How does 19 votes for the three main parties and 6 for the others mean that more folk are against the main parties.? Â Individually it is 7,6,6 & 6 still not most.

observer Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Have another look Eag: the highest individual Party vote was 7 for the Tories, 6 each for the other two - if you combine the votes of the rest - 10 folk clearly don't want Tory. Labour or Libs; and in the real election around 30% of folk won't even vote at all, so no overwhelming endorsement for any ONE of the main parties K! Got a leaflet from the INDEPENDENT candidate today - very good, and from what I've been told, a class above the rest - so let's just hope folk do vote for REAL change.

Eagle Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 You can massge the figures anyway you want but an overwhelming majority (21) want ONE OF THE BIG THREE whilst six are happy to throw their vote away on a lost cause and four can't make thir minds up. Â The endorsement therefore is for a major party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inky pete Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Maybe the big 3 should all merge so we get a government with the overwhelming support of the electorate. Â Next to no difference between them in actual policies, after all!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 EACH "PARTY" support, is less than those who don't support any of the main parties. and we can add the support for the other two main parties to be against the single highest Party, and it demonstrates how Brown could win with 32% of those who actually vote (ignoring the 30% who don't), he can even come third in the popular vote and win more seats in Parliament and re-enter No 10 - try justifying that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inky pete Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 You're assuming that the "undecideds" definitely won't vote for any of the big 3. Â In fact, the majority of them probably will - once they make up their minds which one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Kennedy Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I notice that the Warrington South Labour candidate is saying that his shoe has a hole in with all the walking that he is doing, should be OK for a repair though, his Party's manifesto is full of cobblers.

Dizzy Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Shame you can only click on 7 areas at a time but anyway...  My first dream cabinet had  2 cons (public finances and business taxation) 2 bnps (council tax and cars)1 green (elderly) 1 lib (youth employment) 1 labour (jobs)  Overall it told me to vote for Tories  My second dream cabinet had  2 Lib Dem (NHS and Immigration) 1 Labour (Doctors) 1 Con (Police) 1 Green (Forces) 1 Bnp (sentencing) 1 Lib Dem (Immigration) 1 UKIP (Pensions)  Overall it told me to vote for Lib Dems  I might just print it off and stick it to my voting form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Kennedy Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Alas Observer I rather think that there would be very few significant ones that could command majority support....even though there will be those on this Forum who think that they might.

LymmParent Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Policies are like Committee decisions - nobody ever quite gets exactly what they wanted and all the arguing waters it down into some soggy please-all compromise. Of course, there are fine examples of strong policy in Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, Jack the Ripper, the BNP and Observer, which serve to remind us all that things could be a lot worse.....

observer Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Errm, so things would be a "lot worse" if the 1million illegal immigrants in this country were deported; if no more immigrants were allowed in without needed skills etc etc - stick to your Ivory Tower LP!
