Cameron's 'Nasal Incident' Tops Online Video Poll
LONDON, April 28, 2010-- David Cameron may be leading the latest voting intentions polls, but
things can be very different in the world of web video clips. RealNetworks,
the online video specialist, asked research company YouGov to take an
alternative approach to the leadership question by asking respondents which
of a series of embarrassing online videos, featuring each of the party
leaders, they would most like to see or see again. Almost twice as many
people wanted to see David Cameron being sneezed on in Hastings (16%), than
either of the incidents involving the other major party leaders
(http://uk.real.com/realplayer/specials/uk-election-2010/).
Perhaps reflecting his remarkable growth in recognition since the first
Prime Ministerial debate, only 6% of those surveyed wanted to see Liberal
Democrat leader Nick Clegg hearing that nobody knows him in the Party's
Romsey constituency during a filmed radio interview. Gordon Brown will be
glad to hear that his 'nasal' incident, apparently picking his nose (you be
the judge) during Prime Minister's Questions, is much less popular than David
Cameron's (7%).
One piece of good news for all three of the major party leaders is that
the largest percentage (24%) of those who expressed a preference most wanted
to see BNP leader Nick Griffin being pelted with eggs outside Parliament.
Hopefully, the large proportion (29%) that didn't express a preference,
doesn't reflect voter apathy but instead points to the proportion of the
population that still find online video a mystery.
