A survey published today reveals "little support for plain packaging of tobacco" (The Sun).
The poll, commissioned by Grassroots Conservatives and conducted by Comres, is published here.
Interestingly only 32 per cent think David Cameron will make a good prime minister after the 2015 general election. Then again, that's better than Boris (28 per cent), Nigel (22), Ed (21) or Nick (12).
Of greater interest to me however was the question, "Which three of the following policies would you most like to see political parties include as manifesto promises to introduce after the next General Election?"
Seventeen policies were listed including cap on immigration into Britain from the European Union, referendum on Britain's membership of the EU, reducing the level of tax on fuel, re-introduction of control orders for suspected terrorists and introduction of plain packing for tobacco products.
Plain packaging came second last and was supported by just four per cent of respondents which rather proves what we have always said – there is no appetite for standardised packaging among the general public.
Full list here. ComRes interviewed 2,010 GB adults online between 29th and 31st August 2014.
