::: (i) Searchlight commissioned the survey, in areas that are of central concern to it as a campaigning entity. (ii) Agree it should be balanced, but it should also reflect how the survey was widely reported. I'll wait until you're back before doing anything further.

::::I don't think we are too far apart. I think it is relevant, but needs to give more detail on the survey referenced to Searchlight and also cover how it was reported. Will attempt a draft this evening if that is OK?

{{od}}OK how about this
<blockquote>In 2011 Searchlight commissioned a survey within [[England]] to "investigate the level of fear, hate and hope in society". The survey involved over 5000 respondents and reported a shift in the politics of immigration to a politics of "culture, identity and nation". It identified six "tribes": Confident multi-culturals (8%), Mainstream liberals (16%), Identity ambivilants (28%), Cultural integrationists (24%), Latent hostiles (10%) and Active enmity (13%). Social class and voting intention did not stand as proxies for these groups. The report identified a growing preference for English identity, over British with that preference being aligned with increasingly right wing views. There was a strong aversion to violence and "70% of all respondents said they would support a group that wants to campaign against religious and racial extreamism and promote better relations between ethnic and religious groups in England". At the same time 60% of the population felt that immigration had been a bad thing and there was evidence that there is a "large pool of voters who would support a respectable right wing party steeped in English nationalism, while holding anti-violence, anti-immegration, anti EU, non-fascist, anti-islamic extremist views. These latter two points were extensively covered in the press (references per above). Searchlight is launching the ''Together'' project to build on the 3:2 majority who looked to a "more positive community-orientated response to extremism. </blockquote>
Overall reference to the executive summary pp16-18 Searchlight March 2011. I think that summarises the report, I think its important enough to justify this length of entry and I think this is balanced. I have tried to use quotes where there is any possible ambiguity. I have to leave 0600 tomorrow for a long day of meetings so may not get a chance to clarify/comment until Friday evening --[[User:Snowded|<font color="#801818" face="Papyrus">'''Snowded'''</font>]] <small><sup>[[User talk:Snowded#top|<font color="#708090" face="Baskerville">TALK</font>]]</sup></small> 22:05, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
