Brit's change their minds.

#1405708 - 03/24/03 09:23 AM (23 years, 5 months ago)

Actually I'm surprised by this.

---------------
Poll: British Now Support Blair

Support for war in Iraq has turned around sharply, a new poll for the London Times reveals. It shows that 56 percent of people now think America and Britain are right to take military action, with 36 percent opposed.

This is a mirror image of the position before the war, when a similar YouGov poll showed 36 percent backing military action and 57 percent opposed.

Support for the war is stronger among men than women, but is shared across all age groups. Labour and Conservative supporters back the war by two to one. Only Liberal Democrat supporters are opposed, in line with their party?s official position.

The war is also seen as being of benefit to the world. By 45 pecent to 35 percent, people believe it will make the world a safer place.

The expectation is that the war itself will be short. More than two-thirds, 70 percent, say it will be a brief campaign, although 39 percent think there will be heavy casualties.

Tony Blair?s conduct of the crisis is gaining support, following initial public opposition. More than a third, 36 percent, say their admiration for the prime minister has increased because of the way he has handled the Iraq crisis in recent weeks, against 29 percent who say their respect has diminished.

The Need for War

Most of those surveyed, 59 percent, say they saw the prime minister?s address to the nation on Thursday evening, when he set out his reasons for going to war. By three to one, 27 percent to 8 percent, people said they were more convinced of the need for war by the broadcast, with the rest unmoved by it.

People are also unhappy about the wave of protests by schoolchildren in the past few days. Fewer than a quarter, 24 percent, believe pupils have a right to protest at any time. Nearly two-thirds, 63 percent, think teachers should have kept the children in school.

The political threat to Blair appears to be fading, with little enthusiasm for any of his potential successors in the cabinet. Gordon Brown tops the list, with 24 percent support in the event of Blair stepping down, followed by Robin Cook, 9 percent, Jack Straw, 7 percent, and David Blunkett, 6 percent. Most favored none of the prime minister?s likely replacements as leader.

Blair is seen as more sincere than George Bush over rebuilding Iraq and pursuing the Israel-Palestine peace process. By 72 percent to 19 percent, people say he is sincere about reconstructing Iraq for its people, against 51 percent to 35 percent for the U.S. president. On finding a solution to the Israel-Palestine problem, people say by 68 percent to 18 percent that Blair will push for peace, compared with 41 percent to 39 percent who think Bush will.

Asked whether Bush will pursue war against other countries such as North Korea after Iraq, most people think he will. By nearly two to one, 53 percent to 27 percent, they predict the U.S. will target other nations believed to pose a threat.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers
