Poll finds kiwis have the most positive attitude towards refugees in the world [not The Guardian's headline]
(www.theguardian.com)
"An international survey of almost 22,000 adults across 29 countries found British people had the third-most enthusiastic outlook towards refugees, just behind Spain and New Zealand."
Edit: Just found the actual report by Ipsos. We are #1, not #2. Fixed the title.
Edit 2: We're also the most likely to agree that refugees make a positive contribution to our country (70%). And here's the breakdown on the central question:
I was going to say this. It's easy to be #1 when we have almost no refugees entering illegally.
We're the highest for "Let stay, and allow more", and for that plus "Let stay, but not allow any more". Any way you look at it, we're number one. They say that somewhere in the text too.
No idea how UK is in #3, but it must be that report The Guardian is referring to because of the date and surveyor.
Sorry I meant are you sure it's the right report, not are you sure we're #1. I wonder if they updated the report to fix an error after the article came out.
Yeah, the report came out 2 days after The Guardian article so maybe they did change something. Or the journalist fucked up. They do that far more than they should. But Ipsos only do these surveys once a year so it must be the right one.
Another thing I noticed - we're most likely to agree that refugees make a positive contribution to our country (70%).
