by-election poll update


There are only 14 days to go until the 2nd most talked about election in the world (possibly), and as the media swarms through the town centre, journalists chill out in the CISWO and the Acorn and Gordon and Sarah, Alec, David and who knows who else turn up on your doorstep with a handful of flyers and sincere promises, the world turns it's attention to the Glenrothes Spoon poll. As of today the voting figures are as follows: Labour: 50, SNP: 68, Lib Dems: 7, Conservative: 10, Other: 6.
The SNP were off to an early lead when we first started the poll up, but Labour have been steadily catching up over the month or so that it's been on the site. You also need to decide whether you want to include the 19 votes from the SNP blog that linked to the poll (see the post further down this page) - if you decide not to, then it's absolutely neck and neck, with Labour actually winning by one vote.
The bookies odds are way too close to call on the main two parties too, so it's going to be a fun couple of weeks for everyone involved!
If you haven't voted yet, get stuck in! And if you haven't made your mind up yet - don't forget there's always the by-election celebrity lookalike page to help you decide. ;)
