The questions that bear on nationalization

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 · Letting firms from abroad invest in our oil, gas and metals brings in money and skills.
B · Our oil, gas and metals should stay in our own hands, not be sold abroad.
World, unweighted: 0% A · 0% neither · 100% B · n = 1
🇵🇹 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.
