On a very high turnout, the results to last week's Fun Online Poll were as follows:
The Tories are opposed to AV because they are scared of...
UKIP - 61%
Liberal Democrats - 17%
BNP - 3%
Other, please specify - 19%
Which confirms pretty much what I thought, so thanks to everybody who took part. The idea that the BNP are any sort of political or electoral threat to the Tories (or even Labour) - and hence that if you oppose the BNP you must prefer FPTP to AV - always struck me as laughable in the extreme.
------------------------------------------
And so to this week's Fun Online Poll: if you were in London this week, which of the following would you attend:
Royal Wedding Celebrations
The Islamist demonstration
The English Defence League counter-demonstration
Peter Tatchell's counter-counter-demonstration
Other, please specify
None of the above
