Is it me, or is there a distinct lack of online swingometers

[Harry Hayfield]

The first internet election was in 1997 when the BBC produced a virtual swingometer (where if you clicked on the swing you got a forecast).

In 2001, the BBC had an online calculator news.bbc.co.uk/news/vote2001/hi/english/opinion_polls/default.stm and a swingometer you could move www.planet-interactive.co.uk/projects/bbc-swingometer/

In 2005 you could chose a three way swingometer www.currybet.net/cbet_blog/2005/04/watching-the-election-from-hom.php

In 2010, the only swingometer I knew of was the one as part of the Conservative campaign kit on iPhones www.telegraph.co.uk/news/election-2010/7345189/Conservative-Party-launches-iPhone-app.html but after that the swingometer online seemed to vanish, therefore missing it a tad, I would like to know if anyone has seen an online swingometer in the old school style?

That's true. To know a few results was to know all a couple of generations ago. But as Peter Snow said, it's a bit of fun and it would still be nice to have some online swingometers to play around with.

There's always this:

The next step will surely be a demographic-swing-adjustable MRP.

This will, of course, only be used for balanced and proper reporting, with headlines like "Our new intern fiddling with adjustable MRP poll shows the Conservatives won't win in Newcastle-upon-Tyne North West, Bede and Bensham if over 70% of one-armed men vote Labour. Could their NHS appeal save them?"
