Today is the big vote for our British Parliamentarians on whether we should introduce a law to allow for assisted dying.
Most of the British public are in favour of such a law in principle - 65% for, 13% against in a recent More In Common survey.
One surprising thing to me is that the support for such a law - not necessarily this particular law to be clear - in the British population at large doesn’t seem to be in any way partisan. At least according to a report from that survey More In Common conducted.
Or even all that demographically split for that matter.
Perhaps we found a miraculous issue that is certainly both emotionally and morally charged - but hasn’t descended into an unpleasant 50:50 culture war issue.
The importance of religion to someone seems to be amongst the biggest differentiators - the more religious you are, the more likely you are to oppose such a law. But even in this case more people in every category measured support rather than oppose the idea.
