We thought about adding polls, and still might do so. Why we have not: online polls, or any polls, are not a representation of the zeitgeist in any given debate. The reliance on polls is typically a manipulative way for people to "win" a debate. Secondly, we have no way to limit the participants to x amount of participation. For all we know, every single comment on this page is created by a single person. LucyCraig.blog is purposely designed to withstand legal attempts to identify the commenters, by purposely not preserving that data, even for us admins. If we limit poll participation to anonymous comment accounts only, it would be lopsided and not very predictive of the mood. However, we have not dismissed the idea of adding polls, we juat want to reflect an accurate result, with all variables possible taken into consideration.
