How you can take part in LibDemVoice’s exclusive party member surveys

By Stephen Tall | Mon 26th August 2013 - 9:00 am

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 three 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.

I have compiled a Google spreadsheet summarising the results from our Coalition tracker — together with the satisfaction ratings for Lib Dem ministers and other leading party figures — which you can view here.

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].

I do so much wish somebody who knows about these things would explain why I still do not receive invitations to take part in LDV polls. I’m a fully paid-up party member, signed-in to everything, a former councillor (no, not sacked by the electorate; I moved home!), I work for our party on the hard city streets.

Hi David – an email was sent to you last night with the link. Maybe check your spam folder?

General note: I don’t read all comments posted to the site, so if there’s a specific question you want to ask it’s better to email [email protected] (or [email protected] if it’s specifically for me).
