3 in 5 Australians Support Burqa Ban

INDIAN EXPRESS: Melbourne –– A survey has found that three in five Australians would support a ban on Muslim women wearing the burqa.

The national online poll of 1000 done this month by UMR Research showed that only 33 per cent were opposed to the ban compared to 59 per cent who were in favour of it, reports the Age.

South Australian Liberal senator Cory Bernardi, who said the burqa was “un-Australian”, had promoted the idea of a ban recently.

But either side of politics has not supported a ban on the burqa.

The greatest support for a ban was among males with 63 per cent, and 55 per cent among women. Read on and comment >>> Agencies | Wednesday, May 26, 2010

Dutch Want to Limit Influx of EU Workers, Survey Shows

NRC HANDELSBLAD INTERNATIONAL: Dutch people want to reverse some of the power transferred to Brussels, a new survey shows. The results confirm the negative sentiments the Dutch voiced when they voted against the European constitution in 2005.

A majority of Dutch people does not want the powers of the European Union to be expanded, an extensive survey shows. The results will be presented to deputy foreign minister Frans Timmermans, responsible for European affairs, on Wednesday.

Most Dutch people oppose the transfer of more political power to Brussels, according to the poll by 21minuten.nl. Half of the 60,000 people who took part in the survey say they would like to see European integration partly reversed: 54 percent says there should be limits to the migration of workers from other EU member states, even if that leads to a rise in prices for products and services.

A majority is still opposed to a European constitution, the survey shows. The Dutch voted against the constitution in a referendum in 2005, but no popular vote was held about the Lisbon Treaty, which the Dutch parliament approved in 2008.

The conclusions of the '21 minutes' survey are harsh, but not surprising in the light of the 2005 referendum. Although the polls show no overwhelming support for eurosceptic parties such as Geert Wilders' anti-immigration Party for Freedom and the Socialist Party in next week's elections, a record low turnout is expected. >>> By Wilmer Heck and Annemarie Kas | Wednesday, May 27, 2009

More Than Three-quarters of Britons Want to See Jobless Immigrants Forced to Leave UK

MAIL Online: More than three-quarters of Britons believe jobless immigrants should be asked to leave the UK, according to a new poll.

The finding will raise fears that the far-Right BNP could prosper in the recession as unemployment rises.

In addition, more than half of the adults in Britain who took part in the FT/Harris survey opposed the right for citizens from other European Union countries to work here.

Outspoken immigration minister Phil Woolas admitted that the Government, despite years of tough talking on immigration, had yet to convince many voters that it had properly tightened Britain's borders. >>> Daily Mail Reporter | Monday, March 16, 2009
