Apparently Christmas time is a good time to put up a poll: previously, I’ve only ever got a little over 1000 results, but yesterday’s survey got over 6700.

Firstly, the boring results. Four of the questions did not produce any significant variation by party, so I’ve simply put them on a table here to read. Remember, 1 = strongly disagreed with the statement, 4 = neither agreed nor disagreed, 7 = strongly agreed.

The statements were:

If my daughter married a reasonably religious muslim, I’d be concerned I’m disappointed how little the environment ever gets mentioned in British politics Farage’s ‘breaking point’ poster was morally wrong Most gay men aren’t any more effeminate than straight men, it’s just media stereotypes and confirmation bias that makes people think otherwise Although obviously there were dark parts to it, I think on the whole we should be proud of the history of the British Empire Women are naturally less interested in politics than men Farage deserves at least a small portion of the blame for Jo Cox’s death I think Britain will suffer from a Trump presidency I am uncomfortable with the idea of future geneticists creating a baby using the DNA of two men Although some people may get a bit carried away with it, PC culture doesn’t actually cause any real problems A Brexit outcome that kept freedom of movement would not fulfil the spirit of the Leave vote I’d support the idea to ban advertising from public spaces, like they’ve done in Sao Paulo Someone who’s four grandparents were Pakistani, but who was born in Britain and whose parents were born in Britain, is 100% British Feminism has gone too far
