A comparison of voters and party elites: evidence from political surveys in Greece, Ioannis Andreadis, 1st Annual General Conference of the European Political Science Association, June 16-18 2011, Guinness Storehouse Conference Centre, Dublin, Ireland
Μια εργασία μαθητών Ε' - Στ' τάξης του Δημοτικού Σχολείου Βατολάκκου για τη Δικτατορία στην Ελλάδα.
Η παρουσίαση πλαισιώθηκε με το παρακάτω κείμενο, τις πληροφορίες του οποίου βρήκαν οι μαθητές.
"Στις 21 Απριλίου του 1967 και ενώ είχαν προκηρυχθεί εκλογές για τις 28 Μαΐου, αξιωματικοί του στρατού, υπό την ηγεσία του συνταγματάρχη Γεώργιου Παπαδόπουλου και τη συμμετοχή του ταξίαρχου Στυλιανού Παττακού και του συνταγματάρχη Νικόλαου Μακαρέζου, κατέλαβαν την εξουσία με πραξικόπημα. Το πραξικόπημα ή αλλιώς Χούντα ή Δικτατορία κράτησε μέχρι τις 23 Ιουλίου 1974, δηλαδή επτά χρόνια, εξ ου και η περίοδος αυτή αποκαλείται «επταετία».
Κατά τη διάρκεια της Χούντας, ο Γεώργιος Παπαδόπουλος με τος συνεργάτες του κατέλαβαν στρατό και στέρησαν τα δικαιώματα των ανθρώπων. Απαγόρευαν στους ανθρώπους να μιλάνε ελεύθερα και να βγαίνουν από τα σπίτια τους όποτε ήθελαν. Όλοι έπρεπε να υπακούουν σ’αυτούς αλλιώς τους φυλάκιζαν, τους βασάνιζαν, τους εξόριζαν ή τους σκότωναν."
Ipsos MORI Political Monitor: May 2014 - EuropeIpsos UK
Ipsos MORI’s Political Monitor for May reveals a large shift in public opinion towards staying in the European Union over the last two years. More than half of Britons (54%) would vote to stay in the European Union in a referendum, with 37% saying they would vote to leave. This is a turnaround since we last asked the question in November 2012, prior to David Cameron’s pledge to provide a referendum were the Conservatives to win power in next year’s general election, when 44% said they would vote to stay in the EU, with 48% saying they would vote to get out.

European Elections - MEPs and Constituent CommunicationFTI Consulting FR
The EU is going through an existential crisis. Support for the EU is at an all-time low across a swathe of Member States. The campaigns for the forthcoming European Parliament elections (22-25 May) have represented an important opportunity for current and candidate MEPs to explain to citizens what the EU is and does, and the benefits of membership. But has that opportunity been squandered? FTI Consulting examine the results of some proprietary research conducted at how successful MEPs have been in communicating about the EU in the run up to the elections.

• This has affected SWD (voters and losers)
• Candidates are on the left of their voters
• Voters’ self placement = party placement
– Economic left/right: candidates more extreme
– Libertarian – authoritarian: candidates on the
left of their voters
• Evidence in favor of robust statistics use
