Rather than do my OU homework assignment, I totted up the first 100 countable votes. 71% of those actually vote.
First glance doesn't reveal any regional patterns - e.g. not all people from Wales voted the same way, etc. I could break it down more, into age patterns - but even by my standards of procrastination that would be a low.
Results from all responses (first choice only counted)
Alesha 48%
Matt 13%
Kelly 8%
John 5%
Letitia 7%
Gethin 5%
Penny 4%
Kenny 2%
Kate 2%
Results from all respondees who said they vote (whether it was yes, rarely, in the finals, still counted as a vote)
Alesha 45%
Matt 18%
Kelly 5%
John 4%
Letitia 3%
Gethin 3%
Penny 3%
Kenny 2%
Kate 2%
That is our vote, whether it a sample of the public - who knows.
Nearly 6% of voters vote for 'the best on the night' - which explains why figures don't quite add up to 100%.
Because I'm a loser, I decided to have a look at some of these statistics. Here are the results I got, if anyone cares (based on the first 100 responses with precise details):
Average age: 30.39 years
Average female age: 30.96 years
Average male age: 25.72 years
89% of the respondants were female.
In terms of nationality, 74% of respondants were English, 9% were Scottish, 6% were Irish, 5% were Welsh, and 6% lived elsewhere.
