So we opted to run an interesting poll today in light of Chaudhry Nisar of the PML-N declaring the MQM to not be a national party. The question:
In your opinion, is the MQM a national party?
We ran this poll (as always) simultaneously on the Tribune site and our Facebook page. The results?
The voting on the Facebook page (where one userid = one vote, so cheating would require making a HUGE number of ids, OR convincing a large number of supporters to go vote) went quite heavily against the MQM with 349 people voting so far:
On the Tribune site poll (where there are many ways to cheat – though usually people aren’t invested enough to bother), 2 hours into the poll, the results looked kinda the same with less than 200 people having voted at the time.
Three hours later I check back to find this is the new tally:
Er…
Hm…
Er…
*no comment*
on the Fb poll it’s difficult to manipulate by voting again and again,fb poll shows the true picture.
You are right…that is why MQM is winning on both sites..
YOU BETTER UPDATE THIS GARBAGE BLOG…. MQM IS WINNING THE POLL ON BOTH ET SITE AND FACEBOOK PAGE…..SORRY TO RUIN YOUR CLIMAX
No. MQM is winning on ET’s facebook fan page as well.
