Done!

A free country like NZ doing this to their citizens is frightening I would expect this from Nazi's or Kim foo jung

Seems like a lot of newspapers keep running these "new" gun control polls, and the results are always the same, overwhelming support for the "no" side for no new laws. We all know what Blair's recommendations are going to be, so the polls seem kind of redundant.

Just voted though 13.49 yes, 86.51 no.

I always figure it's a good idea to vote on these polls if only to kill the possibility of the results being used in an article that supports the anti's position.

I couldn't find the poll but I did see an interesting article about More Students Become 'Sugar Babies' to Pay For University

I'm with you.
When the time comes and there is a "real" vote... I don't think it will even be close.
