Normally, because of the nature of Internet polls, I don't encourage this sort of thing. But since I hate YouGov, I am encouraging everyone to fiddle this poll as much as possible. Here are some of the questions and their obnoxious current answer percentages:
2. Some people have said that the two key leaders, Yasser Arafat and Ariel Sharon, have become too entrenched to solve this crisis, and should step aside to allow new leaders. Others say that only Mr Sharon and Mr Arafat have the legitimacy to find a solution. What do you think?
Ariel Sharon should step aside 24%
Yasser Arafat should step aside 9%
Both should step aside 47%
