Poll

Poll started 22 June 2010: How do you spend abroad? When you go on holiday, which makes up the bulk of the way you spend?

NEW POLL: What government spending would you PROTECT? The Prime Minister and Chancellor have both confirmed that the country will need to face swingeing cuts in public spending, with David Cameron announcing they will consult the public for ideas on where pennies and pounds could be saved. Last week we asked what you'd cut, now... In which of these areas of spending do you most want spending protected?

Poll Started 8 June 2010: What Goverment spending would you cut? The Prime Minister and Chancellor have both confirmed that the country will need to face swinging cuts in public spending, with David Cameron announcing they will consult the public for ideas on where pennies and pounds could be saved.

Poll Started 01 June 2010: Do you call on your landline? There’s now more than one mobile phone per person in the UK, and most of us carry one 24/7. So how has the mobile revolution stopped you making calls on your landline?

Summer’s arrived and it's nearly holiday time, but including weekend breaks, how many times do you think you’ll holiday outside the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) this year? (excluding work trips)

Poll started 17 May 2010: Would you ‘pay in cash’ to help people avoid tax? If a builder/masseuse/cleaner/plummer/market stall holder or anyone else offered you a 15% discount because 'it's better in my pocket than in the taxmans'... Which of these is closest to what you’d do?

In last week’s election the split of votes was Tory 36%, Labour 29%, Lib Dems 23% yet the share of seats won (excluding others) Tory 49%, Labour 42%, Lib Dem 9% Proportional representation would mean the seats won are in proportion to the vote share – yet the argument against is it would likely lead us to permanent hung parliaments. Should we switch to proportional representation?

Poll Started 07 May 2010: How much do you take out at the cash machine? How much cash do you take out when you go to the cash machine? Many of us lead our lives by this ‘unit’ and judge how much we spend by how quickly it goes. What’s your typical cash machine unit?

With talk of a hung parliament rife, if you were to be given the option to vote one of the three main parties out of government rather than in – who’d you choose?

Poll Started 26 April 2010: Should we starve the jobless back to work? Lord Jones, former head of business institute the CBI (and for a while an independent Labour minister), recently said we should ‘starve the jobless back to work’ by making benefits not pay in a discussion about the young unemployed. Yet others say that’s both against human rights, and if there aren’t the jobs we'll simply see more crime if benefits are cut. What would you say is roughly the right benefit to give an able single person seeking work? We'll assume rent is £50/week to reduce regional variance. (Vote based on the overall level of benefit for all payments including rent/mortgage and living)
