The Tory grassroots have spoken, and they want Alan Duncan out. Here are the main results from a poll which has just been published over at ConservativeHome:
“A ConservativeHome.com poll of 1,622 Tory members carried out today finds 65% want Alan Duncan to resign and 55% think he should be sacked. A massive 91% think he should be moved from his current job where he has a role in deciding Conservative policy on MPs’ expenses and allowances.
61% are dissatisfied with Alan Duncan’s performance. 31% are satisfied. This makes him the least popular member of the shadow cabinet.
38% agreed that ‘Alan Duncan was telling the truth – the antagonism toward MPs has gone too far.’ 52% disagreed.
65% agreed ‘There is now a real problem of high calibre people being discouraged from entering politics.’
