Friday's Snap Poll asked the Union of Voters whether the EU elections have made you more or less in favour of proportional representation.
The majority of responses said that they are weren't previously in favour of PR, and that the EU election process has made them even less of a fan.
The results in full:
I was not in favour and it has made me even less - 50.9%
I am unchanged - 24.6%
I was in favour and it has made me more - 12.3%
I was not in favour but it has made me more in favour - 3.5%
I was in favour and it has made me less - 3.5%
I don't know - 3.5%
I did not vote - 1.8%
57 people voted in today's snap poll. For the full results, see here.

I was most impressed by an article in the Daily Telegraph some days ago by Daniel Hannan (EU Conservative - South East Region) who said that although he was campaigning vigorously he could, if he chose, swan off on holiday as being number one on the Tory list his election was a dead cert. As he pointed out, this is not proper democracy. Any PR system must allow people to vote for a person, not just a party with some party committee deciding who will serve.

Sorry to go off thread but there doesn’t seem to be any facility on this site for members to express their own independent thoughts or to introduce new ideas, the starting of blogs being (as far as I cab see) the sole preserve of the administrative team with the rest of us allowed to comment on them. I suppose I could have sent a private email to the administrators but that would hardly be in the spirit of free and open expression, would it.
I joined the site with only a vague notion of what it was all about and after several days of exploration I am none the wiser. It’s not an open forum in the usual sense because of the severe restrictions imposed from above and I really would like to know what it was designed to achieve if it’s not merely a soapbox for the administrators to tell us what they think.
I am a member of www.fumeintheforum.org which invites the views of Middle England on any matter which members choose to raise. It is an entirely different format where the Administrator hardly ever interferes in the debates and the true expression of opinion is achieved. But this venture, The National Union of Voters, appears more like a private rant site destined to become a lost backwater of the political landscape.
Perhaps the administrators would like to tell us what exactly the NUV is designed to achieve and what it’s objectives are, because I’m a bit confused as to what it’s for.

As with HD in previous comment.A forum base rather than email or as well as would be useful and just maybe good fun as well as informative?

Well, I'm sorry but I really can't see that this site is going anywhere. I have looked in several times every day and my comment above was posted more than 24 hours ago and yet no response from the administrators and nothing else happening at all - a few snap polls asking silly questions and that's about it. Whatever the site is meant to achieve it has passed me by so I won't bother with it any more. If I want to be ignored we have a whole parliament dedicated to doing that.
