Answer the poll

Where the United Kingdom sits on economic

What is measured about the United Kingdom on this axis. These are facts about the country, not what its people think about them — that is the part of this page waiting on a sample.

The questions that bear on privatization

Asked as a forced choice between two written positions, in randomised order, with the sides flipped for half of respondents.

A · Water, power and trains work better when private firms compete to run them.
B · Water, power and trains should be owned by the public, not run for profit.
World, unweighted: 50% A · 0% neither · 50% B · n = 2
🇬🇧 n=0
of 100

A national figure appears only once that nation clears 100 responses on the question. The world column is a raw count of every answer received and is not post-stratified — it is shown because withholding it would say less, not more.

The same question, as people put it.

  • The united kingdom public opinion on privatization
  • Privatization poll the united kingdom
