Votes At 16?
This week, the Electoral Commission announced that it was beginning consultations on whether the minimum voting age in Britain should be reduced. By coincidence, this week also saw the release of a MORI survey for Nestlé UK (published as the Nestlé Family Monitor Number 16: Young People's Attitudes Towards Politics): this survey of school pupils aged 11-18 in England and Wales included questions both on attitudes to reducing the voting age and on how young people would vote if they were old enough. Sam Younger (the Chairman of the Electoral Commission) and Yvette Cooper MP (the minister responsible for electoral arrangements) were among the speakers at a Smith Institute Seminar at 11 Downing Street where the report was launched. The findings will, we hope, help to inform the debate.

What Do We Really Think About Counterfeiting?
New MORI research finds two-thirds (64%) of the British population saying that they are against any form of counterfeiting.

The same percentage is also aware that some fake goods can put the purchaser at risk of injury or death. And there is a sense — shared by two-thirds of the public — that the government should do more to tackle the problem of counterfeiting.
