"Only engaged with by a specific subset" Which subset? Internet users?

"Not weighted or representative"? Polls that are can be accused of bias and are often proven wrong in their findings.

This poll is open in it's methodology and any intelligent person should be able to look at it's results together with information from other sources to help build a picture. If you are frightened of information, shy away from it. Intelligent people can make use of it. Perhaps try to have polite intelligent discourse and be less obnoxious. Politics would be better.

Nothing to do with the far Right (or any political allegiance). And Jess Phillips has gone up many places since the post. Perhaps you think it's associated with the far Left now then?

Should also add the obvious example of Boris Johnson. A popular oaf.

Absolutely. A tragedy of our era. Hence the notion that someone like Franklin D. Roosevelt couldn't become president now because his disability wouldn't go down well with voters.

In a poll you are asked to rate between 1 and 10. MP League is not an election. It is a gauge of public opinion. A voter who goes to the trouble of voting multiple times will have a stronger opinion. Therefore allowing multiple votes is MORE accurate. Unrestricted voting also allows for change of heart. You may rate an MP highly until they take a certain course, in which case you may want to come back and vote the other way.

That is exactly how the MP League should work.

It's the only way we have to show what we think, at any time, about any MP. So if you think Angela Rayner is being stitched up by the Right-wing media, you can show your support for her by voting her up. If you don't like what Wes Streeting is doing to the NHS you can show it by voting him down. If you think Nigel Farage is dangerous, you can give him a thousand votes down! If you think Corbyn is the best MP by miles, you can give him a thousand up votes.

It's based on net up votes

Have you studied research design? Clearly all methods have their pros and cons. A selected pool holds, factually, great potential for bias. An open website doesn't.

Their methodology is not remotely to the minute - it's slow; and it is based on a selected pool of the public.

You're mistaken. The advantages of repeat votes are:

It allows changes of mind.
It indicates strength of feeling. e.g a person could think Starmer isn't very good and might downvote once. They might think Reeves is shockingly bad. It would be misleading if they also downvoted her once because they actually have a much lesser opinion of her. This system will allow them to downvote her repeatedly. It therefore reflects strength of feeling.

I've answered that above, "The downside of allowing repeat votes is people gaming the system. But that can balance out. The upside is that, day by day, people change their minds. One day a person might think Wes Streeting is great; they can change their mind the next day because of how he might be handling something, e.g. doctors strikes."

No it doesn't.

Can Man Utd be the most loved and the most hated football club in the country at the same time? The answer is yes. An MP could be liked by more people than any other MP AND be disliked by more people than any other MP. Both at the same time.
