Comment on Conservative and Liberal Democrat Coalition Government Agreement by David.

I no longer moderate this site, my son Caleb runs it now so you’ll need to ask him regarding polls.

Regarding the BNP votes in the poll, despite removing quite a lot of BNP votes (reasons described multiple times) in the end the BNP did not do as well as they did in my “fixed/unfair” general election poll.

My poll after removing the extra BNP votes had the BNP at 5%, actual result BNP 1.9%.

I was right to remove the extra BNP votes. Was you one of the BNP supporters that thought the BNP would get multiple MPs??? If so I told you they’d probably get zero again.

Shame it wasn’t as easy to discount the Liberal Democrat votes in the poll that had them as winning the general election! Unlike with the BNP votes there was no evidence of Lib Dem supporters cheating in the poll, my guess is this site got a LOT of Lib Dem supporters over the last 4 weeks of the election which threw the results WAY off (wasn’t too bad before the live TV debates).

Just goes to show how useless polls are.

BTW interesting how the BNP pretty much self destructed days before the general election! I was amazed they couldn’t even get their website back online before May 6th when the BNP webmaster took it offline because of an internal dispute!!! If someone took my sites offline would have taken me about an hour to have it back online (assuming I didn’t have to setup another dedicated server, no more than a day if I had to buy another server) as if it was my site I’d have used my server backups that any well organised business will have copies off (I currently backup daily).

Just shows how poorly organised the BNP are, not a big surprise, not like they are overflowing with talent.
