If you're not going to set up a poll properly, with all 11 candidates available, then don't even bother at all. If it's a prediction poll there's no need to include the no-hopers. But it's not a prediction poll, it's a "Who would you vote for?" poll. |

Presented without comment (because, honestly, it says more than enough) What happened to this candidate? Haha. |

According to his website, he's Qassim Afzal (MA) and he's studying for a doctorate. It's a very poor website. What no PhD?  |

Good spot from Jake Wilde. George Galloway's byelection campaign isn't attracting any press attention so he's tweeting out pictures from 2003 as if they were today.

Galloway has one apostrophe too many and one comma too few.
How long before Jake Wilde gets #BlockedByGalloway?

Galloway has one apostrophe too many and one comma too few. Exactly which punctuation marks are either missing, or present but erroneous, in his Tweet is open to interpretation. He may be an orator and a rhetorician, but he's not such a great written communicator (though with the 14-character limit, it's always possible to blame the medium). |

Twitter must really be in trouble if they're downsizing by 90%  |

Guardian has a report of a Lib Dem internal briefing where it is claimed that Lib Dems are at 31% to Labour at 51% in Gorton .

If the by-election wasn't coincident with other elections that would be a potentially winnable position 3 weeks out, but unlikely without a flood of activists who are elsewhere. |

I take it now that if we had that long awaited poll on this thread the likely frontrunners would be Labour win from LibDems and the unthinkable LibDem win? I like to think the unthinkable , that' why I'm near bottom of the prediction competition.  |

I'd expect the margin to be about that, though both parties a tad lower- that only leaves 18% between Abu George, Greens and others (which includes UKIP, C as well as the random nutters). Maybe 45-25-10-10-5-3-meh |

I have seen suggestions that Galloway has by voluntary help not been overwhelmed.
(I didn't do that, I think Yodha has hijacked my keyboard!)
