LibDemVoice’s surveys of party members signed-up to our discussion forum have been running for close to four years now. (I posted yesterday the final set of figures from our most recent poll.)
Our surveys are a way of testing members’ views on a variety of hot topics. And as they’ve been running throughout the first four years of the Coalition they’re also an interesting record of changing views on how the Coalition is regarded within the party.
If you would like to take part in the LibDemVoice surveys, there are simply two steps you need to follow:
1) Be a current Lib Dem member, and
2) Sign up to LibDemVoice’s members’ forum.
You will then be emailed a unique link to our next survey enabling you to offer your verdict on a range of current matters.
The full archive of our members’ surveys as published on the site can be viewed here.
Both my former LDV Co-Editor Mark Pack (here) and polling expert Anthony Wells (here) have assessed the reliability and credibility of our LibDemVoice surveys — for those with doubts about them (or indeed those who think they’re 100% to be trusted always) they’re well worth reading.
We hope you find the surveys interesting — certainly political journalists are interested in what our members have to say! And, as ever, if you have ideas or suggestions for topics and/or questions you would like to see included please do get in touch: [email protected]

It would be nice to sign into the members area, but a month after paying for membership of the party, I still haven’t received a card or membership number. Is this amount of delay normal?
JCMatthews – this is my situation also.
A health warning to LDV member surveys. They only represent the views of – 1,000 party members who are LDV readers. A Comparison with properly constituted opinion polls of lib dem voters show that the poll results are not representive of voter views on issues such as HS2, coalition support, tuition fees, support for Nick Clegg’s leadership.
