Crossparty traffic (tryin' hard to get through to you)

The Conservative party website gets more hits than the Labour party one, according to Channel 4 factcheck.

Now there's a thing. Does that mean that internet users are more conservative? Or that the Conservative campaign has generated more internet chatter, and so more links and more hits? Or that the Conservative party has more interns criss-crossing London looking for internet cafes and hitting their site from different IP addresses? Or that there is indeed an army of 'shy Tories' furtively reading their political porn in darkened basements in Middle England?

We issued a call for sensible Tory arguments earlier in the week. To no avail. There must be someone who intends to vote Conservative?
