Clarion Folk

One percent of the Clarion Community is “New Blood”.

ONE PERCENT.

The vast majority of voters have been using Clarion for a _long_ time.

As the next pic shows, just over 60% of voters have been using Clarion for fifteen-plus years.

Sure, It’s only a small section of the Clarion Community who would vote (and read) this blog, but still it’s indicative of what most people have told me over the years.

We’re an old community. We’ve been around for a long time.

What worries me is the tiny TINY percentage of voters that have had five or less years. Four voters. That’s right. Four.

I realise there are plenty of other factors that go into _reading_ polls, but I’m taking this at face value. We need new blood. We need people who are brand new, people who will ask the crazy questions, who will bring new ideas, who will annoy and cajole and be frustrated and make the community better and bigger and all things bright.
