Of course no mention of risk was raised... <sigh> In my experience  
people by default favour e-voting but after 5 minutes explaining why  
e-voting is different to e-commerce they change their mind.

Again any social scientist knows that asking people what they will do  
in the future is a meaningless exercise. Still it seems to work when  
it comes to getting cheap PR for NTL :-(
