Now YouGov Are Asking Questions About Tory Plans To Cut Sickness Benefits From Obese And Addicts
February 15, 2015
Same Difference was unpleasantly surprised to find this question in the latest YouGov survey.
This was the response:
Same Difference strongly opposes this idea for reasons listed here.
YouGov is an opinion poll site that covers a wide range of topics.This topic could simply have been included because it is a current ‘hot topic’ in the media.
However, the question must be asked: Does the inclusion of a question on this topic in a survey released the very day after the idea was revealed show YouGov’s support for the idea?

the page has gone, are they still asking? you know I don’t agree with this anyway but if we accept this now where will the line be drawn in the future. Will disabled and sick people be forced into accepting experimental treatment or face losing their benefits? pretty soon vulnerable members of society in whatever way they are vulnerable will be used, by other people and it will be accepted by society. Do people really want that?

I don’t think YouGov can be trusted to poll or report, without a right wing bias, on any issue, purely because of the political leanings of the people who own, fund and run it.
Taken from Wikipedia –
‘YouGov is an international internet-based market research firm, founded in the UK in May 2000 by Stephan Shakespeare (current Chief Executive Officer), and Nadhim Zahawi, former CEO.
YouGov’s former Chief Executive Officer Nadhim Zahawi resigned from the board to stand in the 2010 General Election and is now a Conservative Party MP for Stratford-on-Avon. The current CEO, Stephan Shakespeare, stood in the 1997 general election as the Conservative candidate for Colchester.’
If the current Conservative – Lib-Dem coalition is even considering this as potential policy, then YouGov will most likely look for some way to make the outcome of this survey influence opinion towards a pilot scheme for this inhuman nonsense.
