  The State Of The Economy

  When terrorists attacked the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on 11 September, economic optimism in Britain fell sharply: the MORI Economic Optimism Index (EOI) in our late-September poll for The Times hit -56, its lowest level for more than twenty years. It is perhaps surprising that barely half a year later all discussion of this year's budget should be concerned with the popularity of its taxation measures and not with its macroeconomic effects.

  Effect Of Candidate Ethnicity In The British General Elections Of 1997 And 2001

  Statistical analysis of constituency results in the last two general elections strongly suggests that ethnic minority (Black or Asian) candidates secure a smaller share of the vote for their parties than do white candidates. While it is not possible to prove from the evidence why this is the case, the obvious presumption must be that it is caused by racist voters being deterred from voting for an ethnic minority candidate. The effect was strongest in the case of Labour candidates, depressing their vote share by more than three-and-a-half percentage points, but was also present for Liberal Democrats; however, there was no statistically significant loss of votes found in the case of Conservative ethnic minority candidates.

Yet most scientists insist that science cannot and should not deliver either.

  Going to Iraq and Ruin

  MORI's latest poll on the War on Terrorism, published this week in Time Magazine, shows a very sharp fall in public approval for the government's handling of the crisis since MORI's last poll on the subject on 22-27 November last year. Just over half the public, 52%, say they approve of the way Mr Blair has handled the British response to the terrorist attacks, whereas in November he had the support of more than seven in ten, 71%.
