Labour are more trusted than the Conservatives on EVERY policy issue prompted.
Which party do voters trust most on...?
(Lab | Con)
NHS (42% | 17%) Education (39% | 20%) Economy (38% | 23%) Immigration (33% | 21%) 🇺🇦 (31% | 24%)

I just worry how 17% of people would think the Tories would support the NHS... almost 1 in 5 people thinking "yeah, they're doing a great job" in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

It would be good to know the actual questions asked, it's suspicious how low green/libdems/reform are in almost everything.
Shouldn't a question like this have a neutral midpoint with trust/distrust on either side? This looks like it's penalising parties people are less aware of the policies of.
Edit: oh, it's the bit at the top "which party would you trust most to:"
Naff question really what was the point of including the smaller parties there? Should have just been the main parties for that question or a graded version with all parties.

Why did they ask about COVID but not Palestine? Galloway was able to win a by-election on the issue alone, its omission is strange and kinda suspect.

Manage foriegn affairs is already a question.

So why did Ukraine get its own question?
Womble@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
Thats fair, I didnt spot that. At a guess I'd say because the UK is heavily involved in Ukraine whereas Israel/Palestein is an issue where what the UK says matters little and it has basically no leverage on either side.

Labour above Greens on the environment. Um, OK...

That'd be the same Green Party who oppose nuclear energy, whose local politicians oppose solar farms due to NIMBY issues, who opposed HS2...
They talk a good talk, and they've got the branding down, but their actual track record on genuine environmental policies is pretty blotchy.

Why do the other parties rank so low? Are you guys a two party system or not?
sunbeam60@lemmy.one · 4 pts · 2y
It’s because it’s not a ranking question but a winner questions: Who do you trust most to handle…
That way you’ll basically get answers that are aligned with an opinion poll.
If they instead had asked: “How much do you trust X to handle…” where voters had to answer for EACH party, you’d have a more trustworthy poll.
This poll, in my humble opinion, is CRAP.

Yes.
But, if a third party actually gains any real traction, its policies will be swiped by one of the big parties, which is how we ended up with Brexit.

Christ the British electorate is ignorant beyond belief.
