Article 50 trigger 29th March

Oh, just seen your post Anya thank you for casting light on it, that does put a whole new slant on things.

I didn't twist anything. I read it in an article in the Guardian yesterday.

I expect they were given a ready-drawn up list and asked to tick boxes. And of course those who saw themselves on one side of the fence or another will therefore feel they have to respond in a certain way!

Yesterday was April fools day!

YouGov surveys don't start by telling you what is going to be asked - they ask a mix of questions (tv viewing etc). The answers are later analysed by age, sex, locations, social class, political preference and in this case, by your EU referendum vote.
Some questions are only asked of particular groups (e.g. Leave voters or Labour Party Members about a specific issue.) Then lots of complex number crunching goes on.

It says in the survey.....*do you think these things should or should not be brought back after the UK leaves the EU^?

So it's a tick list clearly.

The full results. Not twisted at all.
In fact 53% of those who voted leave want the death penalty brought back.

Let me bold that correctly

do you think these things should or should not be brought back after the UK leaves the EU

Maizie never trust anecdote over data.......unless it's durhamjen's data.

I see that the proposed new blue passports will cost £500 million to introduce! According to the Telegraph.

I've put the survey up already. Only just scraped a majority on the weighted sample ...we somehow seem to have lost 100+ votes from the remainers in thevunweighted sample interesting!

That's what surveys are about, Anya. It's not like pointless, giving 100 people 100 seconds to think of any answers they want.

Roses, which of the data DJ has posted don't you trust? You cannot make allegations without giving the details. Post the facts please. Your spurious claim without the facts is nonsense.

You only put part of it up, Anya, just like I did. My link is the whole of it, so you can read into it anything that supports your ideas.

Oh, come on DJ I can design a survey that will give the answers I'm looking for easily!

And if you had given these people a free choice .....what do you think they would have come up with? Would they even have thought about passports, old money, corporal punishment? Not on your nelly.

Anya, isn't that what weighting does? It only used the percentages in the population as a whole. You would complain if they used results from more remainers than leavers, and say it wasn't an accurate poll.

So you did and it actually backs up my point about your initial post on this - which is on the article 50 thread - that it's a load of bollocks that most people want these things brought back....in fact ( with the exception of the death penalty) most people quite clearly dont want these things brought back.

You are very bossy Ginny42 always demanding things.
But since you ask, this isn't the first time that data from durhamjen has been dodgy.
The fieldwork was done in Feb not the day that 'article 50was triggered'
The survey was for both Remainers and Leavers.Leaving out relevant information is just as bad as making things up, it sways the perception.So, an honest list would have stated, that asked in this kind of a tick box survey, Leavers had 53% in favour of hanging and Remainers had 20% in favour of hanging.Etc Etc.

Are you on Yougov, Anya? Read mostlyharmless's post to see what they do.
You can join if you want, and try and skew the polls. You won't.

What it shows is that more people who voted to leave want to bring back hanging and to sell goods in pounds and ounces. What worries me is the ten per cent who do not know if they want to bring back hanging. Only 37% don't want to bring back hanging. Thank heavens for remainers, where 74% don't want it brought back.

Exactly Anya who would really like old money back?

Oh for heavens sake durhamjen all you really wanted to do was spread ever more insults about Leavers.....it's so obvious, they will be wanting slavery next I expect.

So when else did I produce dodgy data, roses?
Casting aspersions again.
Yes, the fieldwork was done in February, but the results were only published on the date that article 50 was sent to the EU. You are being pernickety there, even for you.

If you look at the link I have given you can get all the information you want to rubbish my post, instead of having to rely on Anya to feed you bits of it, which is what you appear to be doing.

Not many want predecimal currency brought back, but more leavers want pounds and ounces brought back than want to keep decimal weights. That seems a bit puzzling to me.

All you ever do is insult me, roses.

Ditto there then

All the things on your list which you said that Leavers 'wanted' were also wanted by a percentage of Remainers.
