We'll Support War In Iraq, If ...
A MORI poll, conducted for ITV News on 24-25 September, found one of the most remarkable switches of public opinion that MORI has ever measured. When asked whether Britain should stand 'shoulder to shoulder' with America without UN sanctions, seven people in ten said 'no', but with UN behind the war in Iraq, seven in ten said 'yes', nearly a 50% 'swing' of the British adult population. (With that kind of swing, the Tories would have the biggest majority in the past century at the next election!) Even with the potential for 'many British casualties', a plurality of the British public support Britain joining any American-led military action against Iraq by a margin of 49% to 40%.
