Research Summary: Public views on the enabling state
This research briefing summarises and provides some analysis of key results from an ICM online poll commissioned by the Trust and conducted between 7-9th January 2015 . Our data shows that people want more control over the public services that they receive and that 32% of people could be persuaded to vote for a political party that offers them more control over their public services. Carnegie believe the results demonstrate that there is an appetite for more enabling forms of government. To find out how governments can do this successfully see also Route Map to an Enabling State. An infographic is also available - see http://www.carnegieuktrust.org.uk/CMSPages/GetFile.aspx?guid=9462800c-00ec-4cdf-b1b6-d0b686883fb0
