I'm sure there's some correlation, but I don't believe that your average Internet 'dweller' is truly representative of today's average 'man on the street'.

I was going to say that from experience, polls on CF show disproportionate support for the Conservatives and other right wing parties.
Then I found the
election thread/poll for week 1 2005. Results are virtually identical to this poll, but Lib Dems followed the Tories more closely. And we all know what happened in 2005.
