"If it were a legal requirement for you to vote, which party do you think you would probably vote for Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat or some other party?"
The results were:
| Labour | 83 | 30% |
| Tory | 73 | 26% |
| Green | 36 | 13% |
| Lib Dem | 34 | 12% |
| UKIP | 21 | 8% |
| BNP | 13 | 5% |
| SNP | 6 | 2% |
| Plaid | 2 | 1% |
| Other | 10 | 4% |
| Total | 278 | 100% |
A further 237 people 'did not know' or 'refused'.
Of course there is a margin of error of around 3%, this isn't the main thrust of the poll, etc. etc. BUT it is still great to know that we could do well even if it needs legislation to make voting compulsory.

So you'd legislate to make me vote for parties I don't want?
Cool.
Probably easier to make voting green compulsory - assured a win that way!
Actually, I have little problem with compulsory voting as long as there is a 'none of the above' option which needs to be beaten in order to win.
