Hi All

I've received an email from OnLine Opinion, requesting my participation in an online survey in the context of the ALP leadership spill.  It encouraged recipients to onforward to others who might be interested.

NOTE: It is only open until 12 midnight.

Anyways, for those of you who wish to have your say, the link and relevant email extract are as follows: -

What the people want - Leadership Ballot [...] I have posted the questionnaire at: http://polling.nationalforum.com.au/index.php?sid=96447&lang=en. (If the link doesn't work, please copy and paste the characters into your browser address bar.) If you know anyone else who could be interested in completing the questionnaire, please forward this email on to them. The more responses we get the more we can do with the sample. And the more influence we have with the people that run the country. If you do forward it on, please use the link at the bottom to do this.

BTW, for ages I have been a subscriber to their regular emails - which usually contain links to a range of socio-political, economic and and environmental essays that I find to be poignant.  

In the past, I have occasionally cross-posted quotes and links to these essays on the Yahoo Politics Boards - but only rarely have I entered into any OnLine Opinion debates. I much prefer the ambience and community here and at Yahoo!  ::)
