Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : Zahir Uddin Swapan, the head of the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) media cell, said that as the main recipients of readymade garment exports, it is in the US and EU's best interest to ensure a "true democracy" in Bangladesh, which is one of the biggest exporters of garments in the world.
44% : Mohammad Ali Arafat, the recently elected lawmaker of Awami League who won against Hero Alam, told Al Jazeera that the very fact that the US and EU are concerning themselves with Bangladesh's internal matters is very disturbing.
39% : The envoys, including from the United States, Britain, France and the European Union, had condemned a July 17 attack on Ashraful Alom, an independent who stood against the winning ruling Awami League (AL) party candidate in the capital Dhaka.
38% : "Presumably the US and EU are trying to reverse that," he said, adding that an authoritarian regime in Dhaka will likely tilt towards China.
32% : "That's why they are taking such [a] reactionary stance against the US and EU, because they know another stolen election will not be accepted."
