Political Survey

In this survey, you are asked to give your opinion of a set of statements characterising political views. Please rate each statement on the scale given, which runs from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree".


For statistical purposes, please tell us where you live:

The following are a set of propositions. Tell us whether you agree with them, as they would apply to the country where you live.

Some medical research would require so many animal experiments that it should not be done, whatever the benefits.

Our armed forces should intervene to stop genocide in other countries.

Drivers shouldn't have to pay taxes to cover damage to the environment caused by motor transport, since that would price some people off the roads.

We should make use of any technology, if it benefits us.

Everybody has a right to top-quality health care, even if they aren't wealthy.

It's more important to make the poor richer than to decrease the gap between rich and poor.

Children should always obey their parents.

Fundamentally, the people of this country have the same character as those of our neighbours.

Scientists bear no moral responsibility for how their discoveries are used.

Economic globalisation will decrease inequality.

It is not necessary to ban narcotics to protect society from drug abuse.

Drug abuse is a problem primarily because of its effects on society, not its effects on drug users alone.

It is never necessary to break the law to make a legitimate point of view heard.

There is a place for organised religion in government.

Aggressive foreign policies will not put a stop to international terrorism.
