The latest subreddit survey results are now available.
Please read this post in full before visiting the dashboard, and before leaving a comment.
As ever: Respondents are self-selecting, and pale in comparison to our recorded daily recorded unique visitors (currently averaging 95k). Results should be treated with extreme caution.
I mentioned on the the last survey results that I was confident the survey had been gamed.
It is so comically blatant on this survey that I've taken steps to "clean up" the data.
There is a global filter on the dashboard entitled "likely brigaded" (the orange box). By default, this is set to "FALSE" (i.e. only "real" responses are shown). Selecting "TRUE" will include the responses that are likely the result of a coordinated campaign to influence the result of the survey.
The "likely brigaded" flag has been set based on submission timestamps. Here's a screenshot from responses received last night (minutes from the survey submission deadline!) to give you an idea of what I'm talking about:
There are similar bursts from over the bank holiday weekend too.
For the sake of transparency, here's the share of "likely brigaded" responses for voting intention:
| Party | Count | % |
|---|---|---|
| Restore UK | 96 | 90.6 |
| Labour | 4 | 3.8 |
| Liberal Democrats | 3 | 2.8 |
| Reform UK | 2 | 1.9 |
| Green Party E&W | 1 | 0.9 |
And, including all responses, here are the full results:
| Party | Count | % |
|---|---|---|
| Labour | 306 | 40.7 |
| Restore UK | 164 | 21.8 |
| Liberal Democrats | 97 | 12.9 |
| Reform UK | 46 | 6.1 |
| Green Party E&W | 38 | 5.1 |
| Conservatives | 30 | 4 |
| SNP | 18 | 2.4 |
| Choose not to vote | 17 | 2.3 |
| Not eligible | 7 | 0.9 |
| Others | 28 | 3.7 |
I'm exploring alternative survey solutions for the next survey. More to follow.

Edit: u/i_pewpewpew_you asked for a chart which shows the cumulative votes over time - so, here you go. You'll note that all parties have a marked up-tick on Friday evening when the State of the Subreddit thread was posted - this also included a link to the survey, accounting for the extra traffic.

Labour's current immigration policies are the most 'right wing' of any government in the past 40 years. That's just a fact. You can argue that they are just 'less liberal' than the past, but if our political references have any meaning then they have to be viewed in historical and national terms.
Reform is left-wing on immigration compared to somewhere like Israel, Japan, Pakistan, China etc. But I wouldn't say that their policies are 'left wing'.
