1. People have become more positive about immigration in the last couple years, though most still want immigration levels reduced.
2. Those who are most "open to immigration" have the most stable views on the issue.
3. Cultural and economic interactions are important for understanding emerging political divisions related to immigration attitudes.

Beyond the Bubble: Conservative Party Conference 2014Ipsos UK
This document discusses the challenges facing the major UK political parties leading up to the 2015 general election. It notes that voter support for the three main parties has declined, with only three-quarters now voting for one of them compared to nine in ten in 2010. No single party has a monopoly on the issues driving voter concerns. Both Labour and the Conservatives have weaknesses in how they and their leaders are perceived by the public. The election is positioned to be highly unpredictable with a fragmented vote.
Social Media in a Corporate Context 2010 - Ben Lloyd, Echo ResearchCommunicate Magazine
Digital democracy - It’s not just television debates and the rise of the LibDems that has made this election different. The extent to which social media has played a part in campaigning can be debated, but there can be no denying that the landscape is very different from 2005. Echo Research will be sharing some major new research on influence, media consumption habits and how the three main parties are fairing in the social media space.
This document discusses declining trust in and attachment to political parties and institutions in the UK. It finds that younger generations feel less connected to political parties than older generations. Trust in politicians has declined long-term. Support for third parties like UKIP and the Greens is rising as the dominance of Labour and the Conservatives falls. The public is increasingly divided on issues like the structure of government and the welfare state. The document concludes that the 2015 UK general election may see no party winning an outright majority due to these trends in public opinion.
Ipsos MORI Political Monitor September 2014: Key 2015 Election Issues and Pol...Ipsos UK
The Conservatives have increased their lead on managing the economy over Labour, new polling from Ipsos MORI shows. More than four in ten (45%) think the Conservatives have the best policies on managing the economy, compared with 20% for Labour, giving the Tories a 25 percentage point lead. This is up from a 13 point lead just six months ago, when 35% backed the Conservatives on this issue, against 22% for Labour.
- The document discusses the issue of declining political participation in the UK, as evidenced by only 65% turnout in the 2010 general election and even lower turnouts in European and Welsh elections. It suggests that broken political promises and perceptions that politicians are untrustworthy have contributed to growing public disenchantment.
- The rise of smaller political parties like UKIP and the Greens indicates that those who have lost faith in the main parties are seeking alternatives. However, the Conservatives and Labour still dominate in polls.
- Interviews with a student political advocate suggest that young people are interested in politics but feel ignored by issues. Greater social interaction between politicians and the public is seen as vital to re-engaging voters.
This document summarizes the results of an Ipsos MORI Issues Index survey conducted in September 2016 among 980 British adults regarding the most important issues facing Britain.

Ipsos MORI Political Monitor: June 2016 - Voting IntentionIpsos UK
Ipsos MORI’s June Political Monitor reveals that one in four (24%) believes the Conservative party is the most clear and united party while just 13% think this of the Labour party. Although the Conservatives are ahead of Labour on this attribute David Cameron’s party has seen a decline since January when one in three (33%) said the Conservatives were most clear and united. The poll also reveals one in nine (11%) think UKIP is most clear and united while one in five (24%) think no party is and 17% have no opinion.
Newspapers, television, and the internet all influence voting behavior in UK elections. Newspapers tend to reflect the political views of their owners and can influence voters, though their impact may be exaggerated. The tabloid The Sun in particular is often credited with swaying elections through its endorsements of parties. Television provides balanced coverage of parties and leadership debates that some viewers find informative. While parties utilize websites, social media, and online fundraising, the internet likely had less impact on the 2010 election than initially predicted, as newspapers and television remain the primary sources of political news for many voters.
The March 2017 Ipsos MORI/Economist Issues Index shows a new record in the proportion who see the EU/Brexit as one of the biggest issues facing Britain. Half (51%) now cite it as an issue, six percentage points higher than February and the highest score since records began in September 1974. Fieldwork was conducted 10-19 March, prior to the attack outside Parliament on the 22nd of this month.
This document summarizes the results of an Ipsos MORI Issues Index survey of 1,008 British adults conducted between March 31 and April 10, 2017.

Compared to the previous month, concern about Defence/foreign affairs/terrorism increased the most at +8%. The document provides long-term trend data on the most important issues in Britain going back 20 years.
The January Ipsos MORI Issues Index records a rise in concern about the NHS – since December 2017 the proportion who consider it to be a big issue facing the country has risen by ten percentage points, to 55%. Apart from a peak of 61% in May last year, this is the highest score since 2002. It has displaced Brexit as the biggest issue facing the country overall, although worries about Europe are still close to the highest recorded score, with almost half of the British public concerned (46%).
When asked about the single biggest issue facing Britain the order is reversed, with the largest proportion of the public (29%) mentioning Brexit and fewer (18%) saying it is the NHS. However, the gap has closed somewhat this month.

Specifically, it notes that the gender gap faded in the 1980s but reemerged in the 1990s, with women moving slightly more to the left politically. By the 2005 election, gender differences in voting had almost disappeared as both men and women moved toward the ideological middle. Young women with children were still more likely to vote for the Labour party.

Ipsos MORI Issues Index: 40th Anniversary EditionIpsos UK
This month marks the fortieth anniversary of our Issues Index, which was first asked in September 1974. This September Economist/Ipsos MORI Issues Index shows a large increase in concern about defence/foreign affairs – approaching a quarter (23%) are concerned about this issue, the highest since November 2009, in the wake of the publicised murders of western hostages in the Middle East. This is an increase of nine percentage points since August, and this issue is now the fourth most important issue facing Britain. Those who are more concerned with this issue include Conservative voters - approaching half (48%) are concerned, along with a third (32%) of those aged 55+.
The May 2016 Economist/Ipsos MORI Issues Index shows that the proportion of the British public who consider the EU an important issue facing Britain has plateaued, remaining at the same level as that recorded in April. Just under three in ten (28%) say the EU is a concern, compared to 30% last month – although this score remains much higher than the average over the past decade. The proportion who say it is the single biggest issue facing Britain has also remained static since April, at 16%.
The February 2017 Ipsos MORI/Economist Issues Index reveals the shifting focus of public opinion; over half of the British public (52%) now see the NHS as one of the biggest issues facing Britain, a further increase since January and the highest level of concern since June 2002.

Ipsos MORI General Election Briefing: The Final WeekIpsos UK
Ipsos MORI is hosted a 2015 general election briefing in the final week before the polls closed. This session drew together comparisons with Ipsos MORI’s unique dataset of regular polling since the 1970s and results from our latest research. We also covered the issues driving the election, as well as the implications for public services and the political landscape.
This document provides an analysis of public opinion polling data related to the upcoming 2015 UK general election, which will take place one year from when this document was published. It finds that the election is very hard to predict given lack of precedent. The Conservative party currently has a narrow lead in polls but historical data shows the other party often wins in such a scenario. Voters are increasingly volatile and negative campaigning is unpopular. The economy and immigration are top issues but few think economic growth has benefited them personally. UKIP support seems focused on highlighting issues rather than being a realistic government option. The Conservatives face challenges around maintaining their lead, appealing to UKIP supporters, and dealing with an unpredictable electoral environment.
This document outlines the structure and requirements for a Modern Studies exam consisting of 3 sections worth 60 marks total. Section 1 is on democracy in Scotland/UK and is worth 20 marks. Candidates must choose one of two parts, each focusing on different aspects of democracy. Section 2, also worth 20 marks, covers social issues in the UK and requires choosing between parts on social inequality or crime/law. Section 3, the final section worth 20 marks, presents choices between parts examining world powers or issues. The exam instructions specify writing answers in the provided booklet and identifying the question number being attempted.
The document summarizes British public opinion on key issues facing the country following the Brexit referendum vote to leave the European Union. It finds that concerns about immigration, the EU, the NHS, and the economy remain top priorities. While support for leaving the EU remained strong, opinions on the economic impact of Brexit were split. Confidence in political leaders to negotiate a good exit deal was low. Public views on immigration versus single market access also remained divided. Overall, the Brexit vote did not significantly change most British citizens' views on the key issues or the economic consequences of the decision.
Economist / Ipsos MORI Issues Index: November 2014Ipsos UK
This month’s Economist/Ipsos MORI issues index shows that a third of the public (33%) are concerned about the economy, an increase of three percentage points since last month, and the first month on month rise in concern about this issue in over a year. Concern about the economy rises to 45% amongst ABC1s aged 35-54, compared with just 22% of C2DEs aged 18-34.
The February Economist/Ipsos MORI issues index shows that, after January’s dead heat between the economy and race/immigration concern about the latter among Britons has fallen by 7 percentage points to 34%, meaning that the economy is once again uncontested as the most important issue facing Britain today. Poll: http://www.ipsos-mori.com/researchpublications/researcharchive/3346/EconomistIpsos-MORI-February-2014-Issues-Index.aspx
This document contains a summary of survey results from Ipsos MORI tracking public opinion on the most important issues facing Britain. The January 2015 survey found that immigration was the top issue at 22%, followed by the economy at 16% and education at 14%. Unemployment and the NHS rounded out the top five. The results also showed differences by age, social class and between Labour and Conservative supporters. Charts are included to show trends on key issues over time, with notes on historical events that may have impacted public opinion.
The final Ipsos MORI/Economist Issues Index prior to the General Election shows six in ten (61%) Britons consider the NHS to be one of the biggest issues facing Britain, up 13 percentage points from last month.
As MPs continue to debate the nature of Britain’s exit from the European Union, the March Issues Index shows that public concern about Brexit remains at historically high levels.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
