Unknown user Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 2 hours ago, Jambo-Jimbo said: And 8% thought the same for the Lib Dems & the Greens. Some scary figures there, like 28% didn't know if the SNP were pro or anti Brexit and 3% thought they were pro-brexit & 5% thought the Lib Dems were pro-brexit as well. Then again we are dealing with the public here, and having dealt with them I can confirm that there is a sizable % that are as thick as two short planks. Percentages are grand but worth pointing out that 2% means 1.4 million great British voters think that the Brexit party are neither for nor against Brexit, while 16%, 7.5 million, don't know if they're for or against it.

Francis Albert Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) A poll reported in yesterday's Guardian suggests that Britain is less hostile than the rest of th EU to immigration. Only 37% of Britons feel the costs of immigration outweigh the benefits compared to 50% of Italians, 49% of Swedes, 42% of French, 40% of Germans. Seems inconsistent with some assumptions about the motives for Brexit. Edited May 4, 2019 by Francis Albert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
