Methodology

ComRes interviewed 150 MPs and 101 Future MPs likely to be Members of Parliament after the 2015 General Election online and by self-completion paper questionnaire, between 28th January and 3rd March 2015.

MPs data were weighted to reflect the composition of the House of Commons in terms of party representation and regional constituency distribution.
Future MPs were made up of 50 incumbent MPs and 51 PPCs likely to win their seats. Data were weighted by party to seat calculation in the House of Commons based on the most recent 3 month average of ComRes voting intention polls.
