Hello clete:

You're right. This isn't a competition. It IS, however, about what the PEOPLE believe. In my view, this web cite is a true measure of that, as we get BOTH sides of the argument.

If you've noticed, the right says the majority of the people are with them, and the left says the same thing. Both sides can't be right.

So, I decided to conduct my OWN poll, and see what happens. You saw how I formulated the question. You've read the arguments. You've seen the results. I think they speak for themselves.

Ex haven't you noticed that your electorate is pretty much evenly divided, it is really only a shift of 1% that changes governments, it's the same here, if the difference is much greater than that; say 5%, you get a landslide. Right now, if your electorate is to be believed, the democrats have the mandate. Straw polls tell you nothing because you have to have a good sample and first past the post voting systems don't necessarily give you representative government.

Ahem. ;)

I voted for Ben because he can ban my a$$.

Exy and WG because, well, they are the poo (look it up). ;)

I always side with open mined smart folks who are willing to have an open mind,
That's all
Thinkers who can step out of their comfort zone and embrace a different point of view.
That what I vote for.

I love your confidence, Skell. ;)

Poll? I thought you said troll, Exie. Oh well.

When I reread the question for the poll I could have voted for more than one of my favorites...

But I did vote for you Speech if you must know.

I like your photo. You looked just like I pictured you. A no-nonsense guy.
