Wait what? 17% of STWers have handlebars made of Tories?

Yep. Those are the ones that fool you into thinking you're going the way you want to go and then , suddenly steer you in a direction that you really didn't want go and you crash. .

My vote is tactical to try and get rid of the Tory MP

Same here. If it wasn't between two obvious options in this constituency I actually have no idea who I'd vote for purely based on principles.

I prefer Scotroutes answer.

I generally keep away from political threads as there's generally too many people shouting on like the annoying kid in class.

I was kind of hoping that the anonymous nature of the poll would mitigate this problem. If it gets out of hand here, I'll bail myself.

I'd just like to see what would happen if we ran the world.

own up then, who voted Tory? *sharpens pitchfork*

Guess. 😛

I have voted for Tories and will continue to vote for Tories. *Invited Mr Mossberg with his pals Mr Glock, Mr Smith and Mr Wesson* for a cup of tea. 😈

And a Tory voter outs himself.

Well, there are 5 Tory MPs tying to hold onto their seats that I would vote for.
5 LibDem MPs.
1 Green MP.
30 or so Labour ones.
10 or so SNP ones.

There are far more Tory MPs I'd vote to get rid off, than MPs from any other party.
All have bad eggs though, accept Greens (but only because they only have the one I suspect).

You could describe me as a lifetime anti-Tory voter, but that's because of the seats I've lived in and the candidates that have stood in them, I always look at the voting record and stated positions of the candidates running.

@kelvin: Sorry if that came across as derisory. I am actually more interested in data and what it says about how people think than I am in whom they actually vote for.

Yeah, I was going to post that the thread should only have you giving updates on it, but if I'd done that it wouldn't have done so I didn't

How come if 9 people vote SNP they get 17% of the vote but 9 people voting Green gives them 5% of the vote, whilst 31 people voting Libdems gives them 16%?

BBSB, I probably just made a typo. Sorry about that. Alas, it's too late to fix, as we are now up to 288 responses and that data has long since been buried.

I'm suspicious, though. The tories have gained more than 80 votes since I last looked. I think someone has managed to fool the 'Monkey into thinking they were only voting once.

That'll be the postal votes from Tower Hamlets.

Tablet, PC, phone and different browsers plus clearing cache or using work computers. Easy to fiddle.

You only need to open it in a new incognito tab and it won't know you've already taken it.

But that would be against the spirit of things, wouldn't it?

Maybe those sudden extra 80 tory votes suggest which side is most likely to take part in voter fraud.

yes it was definitely the tories linked there

Perhaps you should have made a joke about errors in the campaign spending for it to have worked?

Naaaah - being a Tory is enough of a punishment for being a Tory, isn't it?

It's a bit like having an STD in that regard.

Except that it doesn't respond to Penicillin...

I think it is more 'democrat' 'anti-democracy' than left or right. I genuinely think the conservatives aren't interested in upholding the principal or the practice of civic representation.

I was wondering the same thing, but I can't say too much, because I live in Wales, and I don't want to give too much away about my own choice.

I don't think I could ever vote Tory, the exception being if I lived in Tower Hamlets.

And I definitely can't imagine any of the right-wing bellends on here being petty enough to do something like that, eh?

I have been looking at the firearms the police are carrying in the city centre, I mean some of the female officers carrying AR-15 variants look hot. 😛 Also noticed the pistol with cord (Murican dont have cord) as I have not seen that for so many years. Magazine is only 3/4 full but I think they also carry spares (hope they do). :mrgreen:

edit: I think there should be RoboCop ... 😆
