We report here the findings from a public opinion survey commissioned from NOP. In-home interviews were conducted with 1932 British adults aged 18+ between 9-14 December 2004.
The survey explores four principal areas:
Citizens’ knowledge, attitudes and behaviours with respect to their MP and
representative institutions.
Citizens’ behaviours and attitudes concerning the use of the Internet – the web
and email – to interact with British representative institutions and MPs.
Citizens’ knowledge of, and attitudes toward, a range of currently available
online political transactions – e-government, e-voting and e-democracy –
involving a range of British political institutions.
Socio-demographic controls including gender, age, education, working status,
social grade, income, digital technologies in the home, location.
