  What Equality Means In Britain Today

  Ipsos conducted 8 focus groups on behalf of the Equalities Review looking at perceptions of equality. People have a clear and shared understanding of what equality means. They understand it is not about just being treated the same, but rather it is about being given the same opportunities. This means that individual differences and needs must be taken into account (for example relating to religious needs and the needs of the disabled) in order for everyone to have an 'equal chance'.

  A Little Local Problem — A Review Of The May Local Elections

  The 2006 local elections represent a clear and embarrassing defeat for Labour. The party was relegated to third place in terms of the "estimated national equivalent vote share", (the generally accepted measure of the major parties' local election performance), with only 26% of the vote. It made a net loss of more than three hundred seats, and controls 18 fewer councils than it did before the elections. While this was not, as some had predicted beforehand, Labour's worst-ever local election performance — in fact, the 26% share was the same as in 2004 — it was a very poor one.
