One response to “Lords Spiritual”

YouGov has returned to the topic in its weekly poll for THE SUNDAY TIMES, for which 1,716 Britons aged 18 and over were interviewed online on 26-27 January 2012. Data tables are available at:

Asked whether 26 senior Church of England bishops should continue to sit and vote in the House of Lords, the results were quite similar to those obtained in the survey for THE SUN: 58% opposed, 24% in favour, and 18% uncertain.
Two additional questions were put. In answer to the first, 65% of adults said that Anglican bishops were out of touch with public opinion, against 21% thinking that they were in touch, and 14% undecided.
In reply to the other question, 66% agreed with Lord Carey, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, that the welfare benefits system ‘traps people into dependency and rewards fecklessness and irresponsibility’. Only 19% disagreed, with 15% don’t knows.
