Thanet Top Votes 2009
Love and Hate
Who do you feel most strongly about?
Thanet's Most Unpopular Personality 2009
Who would get the boot first in the District wide game of Big Bruvva?
It's a safe bet that we do not like everyone equally so who should be voted most unpopular person in Thanet for 2009.
We've thrown to the lions a large range of people from the good to the, well, less good. You have a starter collection of TDC members and MPs for the area as well as a few bloggers. Remember that UP is a vote for UNPOPULAR while DOWN is equivalent to sharing some love.
You can vote once for each entry so vote on as many or as few as you care to.
