2010 General Election Final Poll

Post by Soup Dragon »

Back in 2008 we ran a poll to see who you would vote for in a General Election, the outcome was a sweeping victory for the Lib Dems. With the next General Election just around the corner how will you be voting this time around? To allow for some degree of PR you are allowed 2 votes in this poll.

The results from 2008 were as follows:

Conservative 31%
Labour 8%
Liberal Democrat 33%
Green 8%
BNP 6%
UKIP 8%
SNP (Scottish National) 3%
Plaid Cymru 3%
Mebyon Kernow 0%
None of the above 0%

How is a 33% to 31% win a "sweeping" victory?

It was almost as narrow a victory as it could have been.

I know it's a secret ballot, but I'm surprised nobody has said who they'll be voting for yet.

I'll be voting for the Liberal Democrats (with my overseas postal vote, no less) -- not that it will make any difference, because my vote is counted in my old constituency, and Chesham and Amersham is strongly Conservative.

I don't see how this election is going to produce a good result (subjectively speaking). I'm hoping for a hung parliament with a Lib-Lab coalition being formed.

Like Ollie I'm also hoping for a hung parliament but mine would be Lib-Tory.
With the UK electoral system I can't see that this will happen, but I live in hope :)

With just a few days of voting to go the Tories have a narrow margin over the Lib Dems, if no one party has an overall majority I will remove the parties with the fewest votes and reset the poll.

So you give us two votes each to allow for some "proportional representation", but then reset the poll when nobody has an outright "first past the post" majority? :roll:
