Mumsnet surveys

We're always keen to know your thoughts on important issues - and it's no secret that newspapers, magazines and political parties are really rather keen to know, too

So, because we think Mumsnetters' views should be listened to and mulled over and acted on by the great and the good, we often conduct surveys to canvass your opinions on the topics du jour.

Here's a little collection of the surveys we've done most recently (with links through to the results) so you can see what you've told us about issues including smacking, swine flu vaccinations and Christmas spending.
