  UK On Europe: Low On Knowledge, Low On Trust

  MORI's latest research for The Institute for Citizenship's A Vision of Europe project shows that the British public have low awareness of, low knowledge about, and low trust in, the institutions of the European Union. Furthermore, they do not feel they have enough information to make a considered vote in the referendum on the European Constitution. Few people trust any institution to represent the views of ordinary people, and many do not know the name of any of their MEPs.

  Where Have All The Voters Gone?

  The decline of turnout in British elections in the last few years has created something approaching a panic in the political establishment and has left the Electoral Commission and other interested bodies with an acute problem in political marketing. What has resulted is both the commissioning of research to explore the reasons for non-voting and a rash of suggested solutions. This paper discusses newly-published evidence about the way the public views voting and how this is related to other attitudinal and behavioural characteristics commonly treated collectively as components of "activism" or "good citizenship". It also considers the implications of these and other findings for some of the suggested solutions to the turnout problem.

  The Referendum Battle

  MORI's latest research on behalf of The Foreign Policy Centre shows that the majority of the public have still to make up their minds or say they can be persuaded about how they would vote in a referendum on the European Constitution. Nevertheless, at this point in time it seems as though the "no" campaign have established an early lead in the campaign with exactly half the public saying they are against Britain adopting the Constitution. This includes over a quarter (27%) who say they are strongly against. For the "yes" campaign, we find just short of a third of the public who say they are either generally (23%) or strongly (8%) in favour of Britain adopting the Constitution.
