Friendslist electioniser

This only works if people are prepared to tell a stranger's data-collection gizmo how they intend to vote at the election - but if you're happy enough to do that, it's fun to see how your friends are lining up.

The spread there so far is no particular surprise to me - but it could do with more data! Apparently, the graphs get updated periodically, so you can still change how mine looks by submitting your voting intentions.

Aha - this thing looks pretty cool. I set up a bog-standard LJ poll the other day but soon took it down because I can't make it anonymous. Although only I can see people's answers, I still thought it wouldn't be very fair and might make me hate people if I discovered they wanted to vote Conservative...

This looks much better though, so I'm off to post it on my own LJ.

That's very fair-minded of you. This one seems to be pretty good from the point of view of anonymity - although presumably the person who wrote it can see all the results. I'd be interested to know whether the person on my flist who ticked BNP would have done so if it wasn't anonymous, though...

Hmm, true. Even if it's a joke, as you say it's in rather poor taste. But as someone else pointed out, it's completely insecure as I can put in any LJ user name and change that person's vote.

But I shan't. And I hope no-one else will either.

He can see the results; I asked him to check if the BNP tick was anomalous, I've got one of them as well.

It could be someone ticking a box incorrectly, or it could be someone being daft; these things do happen.
