Who’d you trust: Politicians, the papers or banks?

17 September 2007

Poll Started 18 Sept 07: Who’d you trust: Politicians, the papers or banks? So this week we’ve had the Northern Rock crisis, first the Chief said it was safe, the message was repeated in the newspapers, then the Chancellor joined in. Yet none had an impact until the Govt put money on the table… (more info in the do you trust your bank and what should’ve happened on Friday) blogs. So who do you trust the most out of the following (quite deliberately there no, “none of ‘em” option)?

We try to use technology to limit voting to one per person. Occasionally, this may erroneously block a few people's votes (eg, from shared offices). Apologies for that.
