The Electoral Commission/The Hansard Society

MORI survey – Topline results FINAL – 2 February 2004

• Topline results are based on 1,976 adults aged 18+ across the UK. • Interviews in Great Britain were conducted face-to-face, in home, between 11-17 December 2003. • Interviews in Northern Ireland were conducted face-to-face, in-home between 6-15 December

2003. • Results are based on all respondents unless otherwise stated. • Data are weighted to the profile of the population. • An asterisk (*) indicates a finding of less than 0.5% but greater than zero. • Where percentages do not add up to exactly 100% this may be due to computer rounding, the

exclusion of “don’t knows” or to multiple answers.
