Is it easy to have say a weekly poll on voting intentions? Might be interesting. Ideally anoymynous and obviously only one vote per registered poster but if it's easy would be good to see if it changed and how near the EDF was to the local result. I really know nothing on how this sort of thing works on a Forum and if it's any hassle then not worth it but just a thought.

I have set one up here http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?12,451859,451859#msg-451859 to try out.


Is this a clear and unambiguous question...


Who will you vote for in the General Election?


Conservative

Green

UKIP

Labour

Liberal Democrat

I was just wondering (and please excuse my ignorance in this respect) how many "others" there in fact are? What I am trying to say is, if the number is relatively small, could you not list them all? It's just that it would be interesting to see how many votes, say, parties like the BNP (and NO I am NOT a supporter!!!) achieve. Just a thought...probably a stupid one, but a thought nevertheless.

Those are the only parties confirmed in the Dulwich and West Norwood constituency, 'others' in this case allows for people outside the area who use the forum however we would like to keep this a local poll.


You can see who the candidates are here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/election2010/results/constituency/b45.stm

Statistically I suspect that the sample is now big enough that from now any sudden or dramatic change (of more than a few percentage points) would suggest either foul play or 'manipulation' (Eg load of new members logging on and voting for a party as part of some strategy), so unless there's a seismic shift out their in the real world (eg Clegg is found to be a murderer)then I'm willing to punt that the Liberal Democrats will be the EDFs choice by some way.

So far all it has shown is that people who dick about on the internet all day* tend to support the Lib Dems.


*This is obviously because they are vastly intelligent and find the various other pressures of their jobs so easy to deal with that they have plenty of free time. Of course it is so let?s leave it at that shall we.

Absolutely - Tories are far more likely to be too busy making money and avoiding taxes; Labourites are far too busy scheming, backstabbing and trying to get their kids into high performing state schools miles from where they live; Liberal Democrats are a bunch of workshy, slackers and dreamers.

I hope the fact that there have been 1700ish views of the poll and only 200ish have participated isn't an indicator of how many will actually bother to vote on Election day.

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
