Dear Ed,

Could we please have a 'General Election voting intentions' poll?

Would be quite interesting to see how closely (or not) our figures relate to actual numbers on Friday morning...

Point of order - I am not nice, and am frequently known to bite.

Thank you Mamyalynne - good point. The reason I posted here, is because (I guess) the News section needs 'policing' more than any other section ion AB. I will however post this to the blog section as you have suggested.

Gromit raises a good point - I was thinking about voting intentions, rather than 'who will win'. At this stage, I really don't know - I think we're in for another coalition.

I really don't like coalitions...

You can use the usual voting buttons and as Eccles has stated no need to follow it with any comments.

Right , i'm off home now to get a few hours kip , before camping out at my polling station .

I want to be first in the queue .

[DTCwordfan]

First in for the National Erection, that's keen, Bazile....

You could just ask ABers which supermarket they shop at.

Looks like the fate of the country lies with Aldi and Lidl then, Tony.

[tonyav]

Yes, I didn't see them or Iceland mentioned, Hopkirk.

[Hopkirk]

Or Waitrose, but I think the Tories have that sewn up.

[tonyav]

Yep, taken for granted I think, Hopkirk.

Excelsior, polls on here are just as anonymous as in the ballot box. There is now need for an ABer to comment on their choice.

Are you sure the editorial staff won't know,Eccles?

Talbot, I have found 600mg of Ibuprfofen useful for bouts of paranoia....

[-Talbot-]

I'm not paranoid.
Do you know the answer to my query?

[sherrardk]

After reading this post, I have done some (ok, a limited amount) research and have made my choice for both the general election and the local council election - something I have never done before.

Talbot, as discussed on here the othe day, the ballot box isn't anonymous; so Excelsior is right.

[-Talbot-]

Excelsior isn't right, jno

[jno]

apologies, I meant EcclesCake. I knew it was someone starting with an E.

[-Talbot-]

Thank god...I thought my need for glasses had reached new heights :0)

/// AB is predominantly a right-wing place ///

You are joking aren't you? I can count the number of right-wing news section ABers on one hand.

And they disappear or their views stifled regularly.

It didn't appear to be few years ago, AOG...but it is now!

If people would like to take part, there is a poll now up on the homepage. :)
