The BBC is conducting a poll on whether we should expand nuclear energy.


BBC Website is running a poll, "Should we expand nuclear energy?".
> Clearly the nuclear lobby knew about it first, with over 66% votes so far saying yes, but the proportion is declining as more Greens and ordinary citizens get clicking.

This is a stupid pointless TV poll. We shouldn't be encouraging or legitimating such polls. Additionally they are ridiculously easy to rig so if we 'win' it is easy to dismiss and if 'they' win we will have help legitimate the process.

Personally I don't think Indymedia's newswire is the place for such nonsense.

if voting changed anything they'd have banned it by now
