New LDV members’ survey now live: your views on the economy, crime and security and the Coalition

By Stephen Tall | Sun 28th October 2012 - 6:38 am

The new LDV members’ survey is now live. So if you are one of the c.1,300 registered members of the Liberal Democrat Voice forum — and any paid-up party member is welcome to join — then you now have the opportunity to make your views known.

Questions we’re asking this month include:

what you think of ‘secret courts’, elected police and crime commissioners and prisoners’ votes;
what you make of the Coalition’s economic policies, Council Tax benefit, ‘shares for rights’;
what you think about the railways and ‘Page 3’;
what you think about tuition fees 2 years after the Lib Dems’ U-turn;
your views on Nick Clegg’s leadership leading figures within the Lib Dems;
and what you think of the Coalition’s performance to date.

It should take no longer than 10 minutes minutes to fill in. All registered members of the Forum should have today been e-mailed with a unique link to take you to the survey. If you haven’t received yours, or if you are signing up to the Forum now, please drop Ryan Cullen a line at ryan@libdemvoice.org

We’ll publish the results in a few days’ time. You can access the results from our previous LDV members surveys by clicking here — and you can access a Google spreadsheet of our ‘Coalition tracker’ and ‘leading Lib Dems’ ratings here.

How come there is only one level of dissatisfaction this time?

John – good question! That section of the survey should have been identical to last month’s, but for some reason it has deleted the ‘very dissatisfied’ option. I’ve no idea why but I promise it’s a technical glitch not a conspiracy!

If its a glitch them it’s a pretty major one. Maybe the poll should be scrapped and restarted?

@ Alan Marshall – I think we’ll just have to take these results with a pinch of salt. Normally I report the net results (of all satisfieds minus all dissatisfieds) – theoretically that shouldn’t be too affected, as respondents who are ‘very dissatisfied’ should simply choose the ‘dissatisfied’ option. But we’ll see shortly if the glitch has skewed results in reality. I don’t want to re-start the survey as it’s only one question out of 32 which is affected, and hundreds of responses have already been received.
