A poll on UK views on the Libyan war
Anthony Wells summarizes the latest YouGov poll of British views on Libya:
People were marginally in favour of the intervention in Libya (by 42% to 36%), but opposed further intervention to remove Gaddafi by 56% to 24%. Asked how long they though the West should continue to give military support to the rebels, 20% said it should stop immediately, 30% that it should continue for as long as necessary (6% said up to a month, 12% 3 months, 8% six months, 4% a year).More generally YouGov asked if people though Britain should or should notbe prepared to take military action against leaders who posed a threat to their own people, but no direct threat to Britain â?? broadly whether people supported liberal interventionism or not. 32% thought Britain should intervene in such cases, 44% that she shouldnâ??t.
