Contributing sentiments towards policy:
64% : But what it does risk doing in the wake of Brexit - from which no promised bounties have materialised - is deepening cynicism among voters that politicians can't be trusted, and further undermining support for policies to address climate change among the minority of voters already disinclined to back them.60% : It is evident in his claims to be scrapping policies such as meat taxes, flight levies and "compulsory car-sharing" when they have never even been mooted by ministers.
60% : The overwhelming majority of voters support the net zero target and environmental policies, and rightly do not blame environmental policies for the high cost of living.
57% : Whether on Brexit or the environment, both have proved all too willing to stoke fears and sharpen toxic dividing lines if they think it will pay electoral dividends.
32% : First, regulation has an important role to play in shaping the market for green technologies and reassuring investors the UK is a good bet.
