Post election analysis

[silverfox]

Admin,

I enjoyed the chance to participate in your election debates and poll.

I was disappointed by the lack of participation by forumites to the replies from Tessa and the Libdems and noted how out of sinc the election poll was with the national polls and mood.

Do you intend to do an analysis of the EDF voting vis-a-vis the election results? I realise this will not be an easy task given the ambiguity of the poll (eg, the voting was mixed given two constituencies and also different local election wards).

Hi Silverfox

I do not intend to do any analysis of the EDF voting but if you wish to discuss it and analyse it please do so on the poll thread: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?27,452526

Thanks Admin, but unfortunately that thread has been locked.

Nevermind, the moment has passed and given the shenanigans currently going on an analysis of EDF voting intention and the eventual government would probably tell us very little. We could say the overwhelming preference for the Lib Dems from those who took part in the poll is reflected in the Lib Dems now being king makers but the reality now is that the resulting government will be formed after discussions between the parties which exclude the electorate (even though constitutionally this is correct).
