I would like to see some reliable polling on this issue (and other related issues).

When someone flags a poll on this board, the results will no longer be representative of the wider population and, I expect, it'll be picked up by TRAs who will then promote it elsewhere and that will further skew the findings.

98% No.

northender thanks! will be voting tonight then!

CuriousaboutSamphire · 14/10/2018 12:35

Fuck! I am so sorry!

I tried to get rid of the box across the bottom of the screen and accidentally voted yes!

I am mortified Blush

Thankfully I don't think it will make any difference as with almost 2000 votes, 99% had voted no!

Thanks everyone for answering my question about links on the website.

I was curious about whether it was just Mumsnet users who were driving the increase in votes.

I quite like that it is behind the paywall as it is more likely to be reflective of their readership.

1984isHappeningNow · 14/10/2018 12:29

1666 votes now and still 98 % No!

northender · 14/10/2018 12:28

1664 votes, 98% No
Poll closes on the 19th

OunceOfFlounce · 14/10/2018 12:22

Sometimes it feels like we're this controversial minority but it's just common sense isn't it?

adulthumanfemail · 14/10/2018 12:10

1616 votes and 98% no!

GraceTheDisgrace · 14/10/2018 11:57

When does the poll expire? My free articles refresh tonight at midnight...

loveyouradvice · 14/10/2018 11:37

Brilliant....can someone put on aibu with share token??? i would but have injured dog need to get to vet....

gendercritter · 14/10/2018 11:02

Those numbers are pretty powerful. It's just common sense to reply 'no'

LassWiADelicateAir · 14/10/2018 10:54

Finally found it. Still 98%.

Namelesswonder · 14/10/2018 10:51

1349 - 98% no

LassWiADelicateAir · 14/10/2018 10:46

I'm a Times subsriber. I can't access it. It is linked to the current article about mps but there is no actual link to the poll.

Whisky2014 · 14/10/2018 10:42

1315 98%

Somerville · 14/10/2018 10:35

Would any Times subscribers mind taking a look to see if the poll is linked on the latest articles.

Yes it is, on mobile site and main site and app. (Though it can’t be filled in from the app)

Just voted.

98% say no - 1,254 votes so far.

Presumably right now, this will be a genuine reflection of actual Times subscribers.

TAs have, in similar polls, tried to hijack and influence the results. Will be interesting to see if this landslide result changes over time...

Prestonsflowers · 14/10/2018 10:30

Dolorsit
The poll is linked to the article about the poll of Tory MPs regarding self id

Iused2BanOptimist · 14/10/2018 10:26

Keeping it behind the paywall probably keeps it safe from a pile on by interested parties. Although Times readers are a self selecting group.

whathaveiforgottentoday · 14/10/2018 10:17

now 98% No
i look it at by signing up for 2 free articles per week

dolorsit · 14/10/2018 10:11

I can't see the poll as it is behind the paywall.

I find it quite interesting that the number of votes seems to be going up quite significantly since the link was posted on here. (Nearly 1k)

Would any Times subscribers mind taking a look to see if the poll is linked on the latest articles. Thanks.
