It was weird what happened with the Lib Dems. They had ~15% share of the vote in my election poll up until after the TV debates at which point it shot up to around 35%!
For the entire 100,000 plus people who voted in the poll it had them winning the election on the popular vote.
Just goes to show you can’t trust polls and I organised it, maintained it etc… and the only thing I manipulated was the BNP vote share (never touched the main parties votes) because I was getting traffic direct from the official BNP website that was adding a few thousand extra BNP votes to the poll (had the BNP at 10% of the popular vote).
I’ve come to the conclusion despite 95%+ of my sites visitors coming from Google with general search phrases like election 2010, general election etc… the majority of my visitors are center left.
I’m traditionally a Labour voter, but I don’t generally write articles aimed at generating only center left visitors, the way I write articles is to generate interesting debate for all sides of the political spectrum (all are welcome here). And even if I did with so much new traffic from Google every day (yesterday saw about 40,000 visitors) most are not coming to my site on a regular basis.
Either that or all those newly converted Lib Dem supporters bottled it at the last minute.
Very weird.
