Bad News for Labour Party in EU opinion survey

category international | eu | news report author Thursday June 26, 2008 16:04author by mind the step Report this post to the editors

Voters have minds of their own- De Rossa worried

The EU commissioned Gallup, a very highly regarded polling organisation to dom a flash survey of the Irish electorate just after the Lisbon Treaty referendum. The results were widely released, but what was kept under wraps until today was a question about party support among voters.

Respondents in the telephone survey were asked if they usually supported and/or voted for a particular political party. There was no surprise that Sinn Fein supporters backed the No side overwhelmingly, but senior figures in the Labour Party must be pondering what it means when a majority of their supporters vote against the way the party leadership wants them to.

The Labour Party has yet to decide who will run for the EU Parliament elections next year. This poll will certainly make them think twice about who their candidates are.

These figures were contained in a report marked confidential which was compiled from the results of a flash Eurobarometer opinion poll conducted by Gallup.

LISBON: party supporters' votes
PARTY YES NO

Fianna Fáil (41% of those surveyed said they support FF) 60% 40%
Fine Gael (20% of those surveyed said they support FG) 51% 49%
Labour (9% of those surveyed said they support Labour) 45% 55%
Green Party (6% of those surveyed said they support the Greens) 43% 57%
Sinn Féin (6% of those surveyed said they support Sinn Féin) 5% 95%

Progressive Democrats (2% of those surveyed said they support PDs) 69% 31%

All others 39% 61%

(17% of those surveyed said they didn't remember or didn't answer)

I used to vote labour but not any more I stopped after their sellout on Nice 2 I voted green in the last election but thanks to their u turn on Lisbon I dont know who I will vote for from now on. I agree with some aspects of social Europe and would vote for Joe Higgins or Boyd Barrett if they were in my constituency but they are not. I think we do need an alternative left/green voice that wont be bought off by EU money or bribes or big business as all Irish parties seem be be in recent years

It is them all almost the entire labour party. Ivana Batchick is just as bad on the EU as De rossa is they all are rotten to the core and are not to be trusted on the EU or anything else they will always take the side of their 'partners' in IBEC or Fine Geal etc against the ordinary workers when the chips are really down.

Fair play to Wicklow councillor Nicky Kelly and Galway councillor Colette Connolly, both of whom campaigned for a NO vote. It’s a pity there aren’t more people in Labour with the courage to take on the establishment.
