REAL VOTES NOT OPINION POLLS 05/09/13-19/09/13

 Week number 2 of REAL VOTES NOT OPINION POLLS. I have seen a few of the comments around the net saying that this exercise is pointless to the point of it being set against varying election dates, such as last contested could be in several different years. Also that local issues have more of a baring. I understand and take those views on board, but as I stated in the first week this is an exercise on real votes cast, not replies to online or telephone polls. Someone has had to take the time to actually vote not just tell someone what they think they want to hear and then for that pollster to weight it.

There is over 23,000 votes so a large sample size. at present both Conservatives and Labour see a decline against past election results with UKIP making double digit gains where as Lib Dems are seeing huge losses. With the Green Party 25% up on previous elections in real terms up a 1% from 3 to 4.
