Attitudes Towards Call Centres
New MORI research for Citizen's Advice shows that use of call centres in Great Britain is pervasive: four in five (79%) have used a call centre in the past 12 months. Call centres operated by financial institutions and utilities companies are the most widely used services; around half the public have recently contacted each (56% and 45% respectively), while around a quarter have used the call centres of government agencies (27%) and retailers (24%) in the past year.

Music And Video On Home PCs
More than a quarter (28%) of home PC users play/download music on their computer and one in five (21%) use it to play DVDs and watch films. Research conducted by MORI for Packard Bell also shows that nearly two fifths (38%) of home PC users find the idea of storing music digitally appealing. This figure rises to 64% among 15 to 24 year olds.

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.

MORI Political Monitor August
MORI's latest Political Monitor, published in the Financial Times this week, underlines how the public's perception of the issues facing Britain has changed in recent years. Defence and foreign affairs are singled out as a priority by 38% — ahead of all the other issues — and contrasting starkly with the position three years ago. During the first eight months of 2001, we found an average of just 2-3% mentioning defence and foreign affairs as one of the big themes facing the country. (For analysis of the American's public's view of issues facing the US, visit Gallup).
