Comment on General Election 2017 by David.

I’ve worked out there was 823 votes in the poll from the proxies I found! Averaged around 15 extra BNP votes on the days the proxies was used (with some days missed) over the last 2 and halfish months (so on average 11-12 extra votes a day).

I’m impressed with whoever did this, (think it’s one person) that’s loading the voting page 823 times spread over that time and voting, they must really want the BNP to do well in the general election to put so much effort into this one poll (it’s not an important poll, it’s not like it’s on SKY or the BBC news or anywhere important)!

Not worked out the numbers on the other polls, but looks like it’s a minimal amount (looks like they were going to try to cheat on multiple polls, but decided to stick to the main one) that I can safely ignore.

I’ve removed the 823 BNP votes and will keep an eye out for votes like those. I’m sure there will be more in the near future until the person(s) click on I’m deleting them.

I don’t understand why they did it, the new numbers still gives the BNP 12% of the vote in my poll which is still much higher than they are likely to get of the popular vote in the general election and now I’ve found the cheating it makes BNP supporters look bad! 12% is much more realistic as well, I doubt they’ll get that high overall, but they might in some areas.

Reason they’ve got 12% is a concerted effort by BNP supporters to get other BNP supporters to vote BNP. No other political group has tried so hard to rally it’s supporters, it’s a damn shame everyone in the UK didn’t care as much about politics as the BNP supporters. I disagree with the BNP more than any other party, but I admire their determination.

It would be good for democracy if in the general election most eligible voters would vote. In the 2005 general election it was around 60% of the electorate bothered to vote, so though Labour gained 35% of the popular vote, 60% of 35% is 21% of the country definitely** wanted Labour in power.

** we can’t assume the 40% who didn’t vote at all wouldn’t have voted Labour, we’ll never know what politics would be like if every single eligible voter had voted :-(
