Research project

A Survey on UK Public Opinion on Attitudes to Politicians

Project overview

This project undertook a nationally representative survey to explore citizens' perceptions of politicians, specifically considering questions of nostalgia - in how much people feel politicians listen to them today, compared to how much they think that politicians listened to them in the past. The study also explored feelings of social centrality (status) and their spatial distribution in Britain.
