More from the YouGov Euro poll

The full tables from the YouGov European elections poll are now available here. It appears as if all the minor parties were included in the main voting intention question - something that has in the past lead to their support being overstated (though of course, that may be balanced out by the higher level of publicity the minor parties get as we actually approach the election).

Looking at the other questions, the single currency questions also asked whether the present economic difficulties had made people more or less likely to support British entry into the Euro. Regular readers will know my concerns about this sort of question, but for the record it picked up more people who said they had become less likely to support Euro entry than who said it had made them more likely.

The question on Britain's relationship with the EU also had the caveat of asking how realistic people thought their preferred option of being able to renegoiate Britain's relationship with Europe actually was. 51% thought it was not very realistic, or not realistic at all. 24% thought it was quite realistic and only 9% very realistic.

YouGov also asked whether any of the three main parties adequately represented respondent's views on Britain's relationship with Europe. 29% of people said they did, 45% said they didn't. Note that - mathematically at least - this doesn't necessarily mean that there are lots of people voting Conservative, Labour and Lib Dem at European elections who don't agree with them on Europe - turnout in 2004 was 38%, so actually only 24% of the population voted for one of the big three anyway.

In actual fact, the cross breaks here show that 38% of people who say they would vote Tory in the Euro-elections don't think the main parties represent their views, 34% of Labour European voters think they don't and 40% of Lib Dem European voters think they don't. This implies people are either voting for the nexrt best party in the absence of one that accurately reflects their views, or more likely, that they aren't voting based on parties' european policies.

The comments about Ken Clarke in the Sunday Telegraph's report do appear to be entirely speculation, there were not any polling questions about him.
