THE RESULTS

THE RESULTS Immediately after the casting of their decision in the June 23 referendum on the UK’s membership of the European Union, the Lord Ashcroft Polling organisation surveyed 12,369 people. The results of this survey are about to be shown to you. Your task is to decide whether you think that each category stated had a majority of people who voted to ‘Remain’ or to ‘Leave’ the EU. In each case, you must also estimate what proportion of each category voted for the decision that you have stated as the majority preference. You will be awarded 1 point if you state the correct decision (either ‘R’ or ‘L’) and another point if you estimate to within + or – 5% of the majority percentage (but gain no extra points if you guessed the majority preference incorrectly!).
