    Sinn Fein - Trying to fix Irish Times poll

    Did anyone hear about Sinn Fein trying to rig the poll today in the Irish Times regarding Corrib Gas issue?

    Why don’t they just leave it alone and stop trying to hijack issues to increase their media profile.

    Champaign socialists should stay in Dublin and leave the west of Ireland to the people who it really concerns, people from the west of Ireland.

    And how exactly did they plan to rig this poll?

    An Irish Times online poll hardly captures the zeitgeist of the nation anyway does it?
    Liquidate labour, liquidate stocks, liquidate the farmers, liquidate real estate.

    I presume that they are then also offering to pay for peoples subscription to the Irish Times, no doubt with fivers from the northern bank, recently delivered by Lord Lucan, riding Shergar, and wearing the Irish Crown Jewels??

    Are you talking about an anonymous online poll? What legitimacy do such polls have anyway? There’s no safeguard against multiple voting from any source.

    Is asking people to fill out a poll, or telling them there is a poll considered fixing?

    What a daft thread.

    well take it from me.. I am on the main SF e-mail database, and I got no mail about any survey in the IT or anywhere else, today, yesterday or ever
