Scottish Weekly Member Survey Results
By Becca McCarthy
As members of 38 Degrees, each one of us helps decide the issues we work on together to make change happen. Knowing what all of us care about is vital.
On Monday morning, the office team sat down with the results of this survey to help decide what’s on the table for the week. Here are the results (1 is the ranked the highest priority and 10 is the lowest):
- Campaign for the NHS in Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland to get the funding it needs to give world-class care
- Campaign to make sure the social security system does more for the poorest and most vulnerable
- Campaign for better mental health services in Scotland
- Campaign to get bee-killing pesticides permanently banned from Scottish fields
- Campaign to crack down on tax-dodging
- Campaign against organisations in Scotland that are placing their workers on zero hours contracts
- Campaign to stop CETA, a dangerous trade deal like TTIP which could let corporations sue the government
- Campaign to make sure EU citizens are guaranteed the right to stay in Scotland
- Campaign for a permanent ban on fracking across Scotland
The poll also checked in on what members think about 38 Degrees’ people-powered Brexit strategy. The question asked was:
“After the EU referendum, 38 Degrees members voted on how to respond to Brexit and its fallout. We decided to draw up a people-powered Brexit plan that priorities fairness, justice and the environment – then campaign as hard as we can to push the debate in the right direction to shape what happens next. Is this still a good idea?”
An overwhelming majority of members still support this plan.
