Comment on General Election 2010 Poll Results by David.

The Other Political Parties covers other political parties not listed as an option :-)

Originally the Who Will You Vote For In The 2010 General Election Poll had over 25 voting options including:

Labour Party : 356 MP’s
Conservative Party : 198 MP’s
Liberal Democrat Party : 62 MP’s
UKIP Party : 0 MP’s
SNP Party : 6 MP’s
Green Party : 0 MP’s
Democratic Unionist Party : 9 MP’s
BNP Party : 0 MP’s
Plaid Cymru Party : 3 MP’s
Sinn Féin Party : 5 MP’s
Ulster Unionist Party : 1 MP
Social Democratic and Labour Party : 3 MP’s
Independent Parties : 1 MP
Respect Party : 1 MP
Scottish Socialist Party : 0 MP’s
Alliance Party : 0 MP’s
Scottish Green Party : 0 MP’s
Socialist Labour Party : 0 MP’s
Liberal Party : 0 MP’s
Health Concern Party : 1 MP
Plus another 5 or so.

When I removed a lot of the small parties and created the Irish and Scottish polls there was:

Monster Raving Loony Party : ~1,000 votes. The majority of these votes came in over one day and was a joke organised by a forum (at times I think it would be better to delete those votes).
Other parties including Scottish and Irish parties and a lot of small parties (like Legalise Cannabis, National Front etc…) about 600 votes.

At the above point the BNP was still part of the poll. Recently (just over a week or so ago) the BNP was removed as an option and the valid 1,800 BNP votes went to other parties.

See comments at https://general-election-2010.co.uk/commenting-policy/ and https://general-election-2010.co.uk/general-election-2010-have-your-say/ for why the BNP was removed as an option and please keep any discussions regarding their removal under the above pages (any posted here are deleted).

That pretty much covers the 3,500 other political party votes.
