    European Elections Poll on P.ie?

    Any chance of a poll on here for how people are going to vote in the Europeans?

    It's hard to trust the newspaper polls, at least we know everyone on here is bona vide.

    You are joking, surely, or are you that ill-informed to think that this site is in any way representative of anything??? Obviously you seem to have been bitten by the rampant paranoia bug that seems to bite people who associate with Ganley and Libertas.

    Well fair enough, but it would still be nice to see a poll.

    I reckon there is a reasonable cross section of society on here and you have committed members of FF, FG, Labour, Sinn Fein, Greens, Libertas and so on, on this site.

    So I would say the poll wouldn't lean too heavily one way or the other.

    I'd be particularly interested to see where Libertas lie.

    I suppose the Poll question would be something like, "which party will you give your first preference vote to".

    1) This site is notoriously unrepresentative. Just look at the number of extreme left and right posters, the number of RSF posters, etc.

    2) Libertas would simply set up a lot of dummy accounts to 'influence' the poll. Their antics on Wikipedia in trying to censor any criticism of Ganley's past has become notorious on that site.

    Paranoia on our behalf?

    Ah but nobody needs to worry about that, Jim, when we've got you there to do massive reverts to a months old version of his page. You've been told off about it too, haven't you, Jim?
    A poster of some consequence...
