EC have released the breakdown of their poll on the Supreme Court ruling. Some fascinating detail here. Things that jumped out to me:
- Broad overall support for the SC ruling.
- Overwhelming support from Conservative and Reform voters. Labour voters are more divided but still with a plurality in favour. Only Green voters are majority opposed.
- Broad support for excluding TW from single sex spaces. Particularly sports, as the most visible example. Lower numbers for rape crisis centres and lesbian associations, but I suspect those had a lot of don't knows on the basis that male respondents don't think so much about them.
- The position that TW shouldn't be excluded from any female single sex space has about 15% support in the electorate.
- Voters do believe there's a chance of more discrimination against trans people; however, I think some of those respondents will think that's a worthwhile overhead for clarifying SSEs.
- Voters approve of JKR's stance! As a hardcore libleft I wonder what she makes of being really popular with Reform voters...
