Just go to the board you want to add it and click NewPoll. It will give you a bunch of options to determine behaviour.

It will certainly count votes block or allow multiple votes depending on settings. From memory the rolling result can be shown or deferred to some date or other.

Just give it a go if you want to. I think the result will be a foregone conclusion and different from the national result but I may be surprised.

Btw I wouldn't vote in a lab, con, somebody else poll. The somebody else could be lib or green and I'd put either even lower than the other two losers.

On the subject of the next general election, I had thought about putting up a poll in which (to keep things simple) the choices would be:

- Mr Wishy-Washy (Conservative)
- Mr Flip-Flop (Labour)
- Any other party

Unfortunately, I have no idea how to set up such a poll in which the votes for each would be tallied automatically.  Perhaps keeping the tallies secret until the poll is completed (after a set time) in order to influence any voters.

Quote from: klondike on Today at 11:22:46 AMI suspect the confusion would more likely be caused by King starting with a K. I've heard both but Jack is now the norm. I fail to see anything non PC about using the word Knave. Problems with calling cards in the suits traditionally coloured black black cards suggests some form of mental illness to me.
In this present 'PC Age', I fully expect that words such as 'Black' will soon be outlawed.

I just wonder what alternative word would be acceptable.  After all, there are many things in this world which are black in colour, so they're going to have their work cut out to find an 'acceptable' word which could be put into practical use.

Because our police like most other things in the country are useless. Nothing works. Including a sizeable chunk of the population who now apparently choose to live on benefits instead.

Some lovely answers here, thank you all, apart from Dex - and I'll deal with him later!

I grew up knowing the cards as Knaves from the old nursery rhyme - so I have always called them thus without ever thinking it incorrect or impolite.

It wrecked a good game of Gin Rummy anyway, which is sad because I was winning - hey ho !!

Personally, I'd be more worried about the word "trump" being used as an implication of superiority, given the somewhat obvious USA situation.

I'd also suggest that anyone who insisted that I solely used the term Jack and avoid the word Black card, ought to take themselves and their imbecilic puerility and shove it right up their red knaves'ies.😬

Although I am quite aware of the optional name of 'Knave', I and everyone else I know have always used the word 'Jack'.

I don't know about 'PC', but I suppose the two names are interchangeable.  On the other hand, I feel that 'Knave' is rather more posh; the sort of word which Royalty would routinely use!

Quote from: klondike on Today at 10:55:27 AMApparently this was playing as he made that announcement.



Mr Brexit, Steve Bray was responsible for that apparently, he attached speakers to railings of Downing Street.  Not confirmed but if true,  why didn't the police arrest him or at least move him on. ?

What I found remarkable was his announcement that flights to Rwanda would commence after he was re-elected!
I understood that to mean quite clearly that he can't begin regular flights to Rwanda.
Like most politicians, he doesn't have a clue what to do, which explains the situation we are in now.

The consequence now, then, is that we can look forward to a Labour government in July, along with the further destruction of the United Kingdom.
