Bear in mind that when this poll started the BNP held a clear lead for a long time. What you are seeing now is possibly closer to actual voting intentions but if so maybe the Conservatives should beware of where their demographic is coming from as regards this particular poll.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

sid,the bring a bottle party got banned along with smoking and fox hunting.

Thanks Brian!
Chris, I suspect the Tories are seeing this as winning the young and technically clued vote. No party should ever underestimate the power of the internet, but some will, to their cost.

No Brian - some of the people on it may be idiots as is all areas of life but the concept is very good even if some aspects are a waste of space.
It has certainly got me in touch with some old friends with whom I had lost contact.
It is only as good as what you use it for and how you use it.

Interesting to note that while the Conservatives have dropped down a bit it has not been in favour of Labour but rather the smaller (more extreme) parties that are gaining.

Interesting poll, that. Firstly, Lib Dems in 2nd place with 17.66%, approximately their showing in other national polls, but Labour 3rd with 16.61%, approximately half their showing in the national polls (according to which poll you subscribe to). It makes me think that the average Labour supporter isn't a facebook subscriber, so the poll would appear inherently flawed.
On the other hand, add together the percentage vote for the BNP and UKIP parties and the percentage votes cast come in 2nd place with 18.04% of the vote. Disregard that % vote at your peril, Labour and Conservative parties! If this poll is inherently flawed and not indicative of a national poll (as I'm saying with the Labour %) then the 'extremist' politics will come into play in only the tightest of marginals or where there is a local effect to consider such as Buckingham South; however, if it is a respectable representation of a national vote, these 'extreme' votes will have a massive influence over the outcome of the election. We could be heading for a hung parliament after all. What price Nick Clegg for the next Prime Minister?
True friends stab you in the front.
