The results to last week's Fun Online Poll were as follows:
How many of UKIP's 24 MEP will leave the party by 2019?
None - 12 votes
1 to 3 - 20
4 to 6 - 9
6 to 9 - 8
10 to 12 - 6
13 or more - 11
The weighted average of those votes is about six MEPs (out of currently 24), which is pretty much par for UKIP's course since 1999.
We'll see.

And lo, to the football world cup.
It strikes me that unlike other forms of entertainment, sports such as football are a huge negative sum game.
Most people who go to see a film, a concert or a play etc come away having enjoyed themselves, but with a football match, at least half the fans will be disappointed at the result; and the more teams are in a competition, the more fans will be disappointed.
It's manufactured misery AFAIAC. This is less so with tennis or golf, where spectators are less partisan and appreciate the skills of the players.
So that's this week's Fun Online Poll.
"Of the 32 national teams at the FIFA World Cup, how many will end up disappointing their fans?"
