Please tell us something about this group (e.g., its values and goals) and why it is important to...

conservative values hard work and reward for hard work and not for hand outs for not doing anything useful. I hate the benefits culture, is not good for the recipients and the money could be used in the health service for the truly needy people

Belief in Jesus and the value of human life

the environment is very important to provide for future generations - governments need to do everything they can to reduce climate change.
people should be allowed to die when they want to
To bring environmental ideas into th forefront.
Good social and economical caring policies
Greenpeace care about looking after the environment, a cause which is close to my heart as well. I think it's vitally important to preserve natural landscape and woodland areas.

It believes Fracking is prolonging the worlds dependence on fossil fuels, damages the local landscape and environment andcontributes to global warming.

Leave the EU, control our borders and bring in immigration quoters
A political party committed to getting the UK out of the EU. I believe such a policy is right for the future of the UK
While I didn't vote for UKIP in May 2015, they do represent how I feel about politics today. They have been accused of being racist, but I don't believe they are (and I am certainly not), but they do acknowledge that high immigration is an issue. They aso believe that the UK should leave the EU, and I do too. This is a very important issue for me - I can't stand to see the strength of the UK being swallowed up by a federal government in Europe. The interference of the EU grows daily, encompassing borde laws, what's in our food, policing to name only a few.

The freedom to have a political view or oppose political tyranny without hostility . Everyone has the right to political view. Torture to another person for opposing corrupt government should be a crime . I believe in free speech.

It's important to me, since I am an Autistic Spectrum Disorder sufferer myself.
Aim is to protect the environment limit pollution, protect wild life and fau.na
I feel very strongly about environmental issues, because they impact on every living thing on the planet.
The goals of Equity is to make sure any actresses, stage managers, dancers, band members etc. that will work across different theatres and companies get paid a correct amount for there job and also that the hours are not to much or to little. Just the genral care of there members. Also they hold events where different contacts could be made for people within the Arts fields.
Works for the ordinary man in the street by aiming to reverse the current unequal society biased to the wealthy few.
It is the political party I feel most at home with. Initially its goal and values were for equality, equal rights, fare pay, health care. Currently there is disharmony in the party and I am questioning the goals and values it follows..
It supports workers like myself who are low paid, fights for better pay and working conditions, and helps people feel more secure in their employment
well known group the government has tried to stop using unfair laws.
PETA hopes to end the suffering of animals and I believe strongly in animal rights without being extremist. They work on informing the world through investigations, social networks, etc the true atrocities that are inflicted on animals, the fur trade, poahing.

Now imagine a scenario where a powerful group (e.g., government, non-government organisation, ind...
My group will not be able to continue providing food and shelter without having government funding
labour get in and start rewarding unions, for example for voting them in not for improved working practices, other countries loose faith in our country financialy and less investment or even worse withdraw investment as labour seem incapable of running aneconomicaly viable country
That the local police will no longer support our group and they want it disbanded
Lengthening times children are in school.
Lack of recycling facilities throughout the country together with alternate sources of power generation including incineration of waste materials rather than dumping on refuse sites.
loss os political status in the country. The political party candidate wont be at the fore front of government
loss of funding for a project that supports this group
Support for big business rather than local economy
MORE BUDGET CUTS HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCE DIN THE LOCAL AREA SO THE COMMUNITY WILL COME TOGETHER FOR A DEBATE TO MAKE FAIRNESS IN THE SITUATION.
The party is shut down and a voice is lost for these issues
If governments didn't help this organization to enter certain countries, help out in certain areas where help is needed.
Loss of political status would make the party less of a force in government and achieve important goals.
The government has decided to allocate brown field sites to be built upon, this will have a significant effect as it will make the community feel we are not a potent force to be reckoned with.
It is important for this group to continue as it is a bit of a lifeline for many people in the area - an issue such as this could leave friends in a lonely position. There would be no support for people and the information currently available would becomemore difficult to source.
If the residents of the park decided that we could not use the facilities to hold our meetings i.e. residents bar, function room, kitchen etc., then it would make it impossible for the members to hold the monthly meeting and also to hold the monthly commitee planning meeting.
loss mof political / legal status - would make it maybe impossible to meet or illegal to do so. Would threaten the purpose of being a church. Would be devastating - very upsetting.
Government refusing to ban wild animals in circuses
if it was bought out by the private sector
It's easy to imagine because it's already happening. The push to spend and consume is constant.
The current government not allowing the people of this country a referendum on its membership of the EU
The govt campaigning to stay in the european union.
Their more militant efforts hurt their public image
HS2 rail will severely damage and destroy valuable habitat by going stright through the countryside and ancient woodlands.
closure of the theatre in which we perform
as my group is not well known currently nothing would make any difference
not being allowed to campaign with regard to the rights of others
governments have decided not to match the reduction of c02 levels that have been agreed to by other countries
stupid governments don't allow the right to die
Reduced funding from a powerful TU will lead to reduced campaign funds and morale. We will have to campaign and target other areas
It would be catastrophic if Greenpeace lost funding or an important sponsor. It would mean scaling back on activities and having to release members. We would not have access to resources and would have to tightly budget for campaigns.
The government began to support 'Brexit' and started a 'Eurosceptic' series of adverts on TV.
if MIND lost funding a lot of people would go undiagnosed and be unable to function in society
If grounds weren't granted heritage status, so on, so they could be put up for sale - that would be disastrous.
Westminster refuses to accept the SNP Mandate
SHOULD THE NHS CANCEL FUNDING FOR MY SUPPORT GROUP IT WOULD HAVE A VERY MAJOR IMPACT ON MANY PEOPLES LIVES
I imagine that they have decided only doctors and nurses are important and that allied health professionals don't have an impact so there should not be funding for training or employing them
The government have cut funding to the sector that I work in by 24%. This means that we must work with larger groups of students, and much fewer resources, while being under threat from redundancy to cope with the loss of revenue at my educational instituion.
County Council decides town council will have less powers/less funding
This group could only be harmed if freedom of speech was taken away and the things we want to say or ask was restricted. And also if the government disallowed them to publish their information to give us a heads up on what they are going to do to us etc.
A government carrying outrepeated death penalties
Reducing child benefit being reduced to familes
benefits / financial assistance being revoked / lessened for those with a disability
The Energy Secretary has announced that Fracking is of 'National Concern' and is prepared to waive local council planning to ensure the Fracking industry is granted licenses to frack wherever it has proved there are significant deposits. The Government ha already shown it is willing and able to obtain an injunction to prevent protesting on or around fracking sites. This leaves the group unable to legally challenge local council planning decisions and unable to pursue the government in the High Court to prtest. It is likely the group will resort to militant protests and try to intimidate Fracking company directors by direct action and postal threats as it has no other legal option to prevent fracking.
one of the leaders doing something that went against the beliefs of the group
Pro-economic growth policies, potentially perceived as at expense of environment
HIGH PROFILE MEMBERS BEING REPRIMANDED VIA MEDIA/POLICE.
My political party loses a gen eral election
Government has abolished trade unions. Very negative because the voice of workers have been squashed, laws can easily be changed or made to affect workers negatively and workers do not have a voice. They can no longer write and sign petition to fight for he collective welfare of workers.
there re proposals that a. school very nearby, a local MP has been to the village do give us a brief outline about it alas I was unable to attend, just waiting now or the next kove
Tory advocating continued membership of the EU
UKIP is outlawed by the current goverment
a rigged national referendum to decide whether or not the UK remains in the EU or not.
Obviously the most impact a powerful group could have on UKIP is banning it altogether from the political arena. However, it would not impact on me in the same way, as I vote for a different party for tactical reasons. However, the political picture woud be damaged badly if UKIP were banned, because they keep the bigger parties on their toes by ensuring that big issues are never ignored.
Seizure of electronic funds that sustain the activities of an organisation. Unable to fund protection of habitat or wildlife. Provide healthcare for eco-systems at risk or experiencing disease.
Making it impossible to discuss politics
making it more difficult for anyone to be able to stand up for their rights through striking etc
a protest being broken up with greater force than necessary
If my supported party lost control of government we could see a deep and adverse effect on the country in which i live. The economy and jobs would suffer and people would suffer.
government refuses any political funding and recognition
If they stopped fighting for prisoners overseas due to lack of funding
LOSS OF FUNDING AND SUPPORT FOR THE WILDLIFE
Hacked / infiltrated by GCHQ (as they already are and have been since I joined in mid 1980s)
A coalition of companies which have been affected by Greenpeace's campagins join forces to bankrupt and discredit Greenpeace (EDF, Shell, etc....)
Pressure to make itself more electable by rejecting its core values
A group of people have set up a free consultation with solicitors to investigate neglectful housing laws . This consultation is free and funded locally .
The current goverment which was voted in by the people of Scotland after a Scottish referendum possibly postponing a potential second referendum for as long as they possibly can.
They have to join in a coalition with party and therefore support decisions resulting from the coalition party's opposing interests, thus losing a lot of support from their typical voters.
industry wants to progress a development on national trust owned land
Government making fox hunting legal again
Withdrawing funding for pre-school children would mean our pre-school would probably close with the knock on effect that without the money coming in from their hire of the Community centre it may not be possible to keep the centre as a viable concern.
In an effort to capture the centre ground the Government attempts to attack high earners and people who have property/pension funds and redistributes.
socialist government wanting to increase immigration and actively encourages weakening the british character
it would too many people on the poverty line
loss of funding and a negative media image

same sex marriage became law in the uklast yeat,this is strongly opposed by the r.c.church and there is disquiet about the long term effects on the church
I imagine that the political party I support are no longer in power. They have been outed from Parliament and now we don't know what rules are going to come in.
loss of political and legal status, loss of power in the community
This happens all the time, maternity/paternity/adoptive legislation discriminates against the childfree. The introduction of increased taxation of the childfree would be detrimental and reinforce the current concept that they are not has 'worthy' as thosethat have reproduced and are only tollerated as subsidisers.
loss of transport eg freedom pass or funded transport
The enormous delay in assessing benefits. This actually happened to me and I was without PIP for over 6 months before it was sorted out
I could imagine a situation for example fracking, which I would be against getting support from groups who I considered to be an ally.
I am shocked at this government giving permission to farmers to resume using neonicotinoids, this is likely to have a detrimental effect on bees. The only external people invited to the meteing that decided this were manufactirers of these pesticides.
If the government cut the legal status of Equity it would be horrendous for the Arts. The people that work for any company or theatre could really be taken advantage of and it wouldn't matter, there would be many people working a lot more hours for a lot ess money and this would lead to more people not being able to afford the vitals in life, like food, house, drink. Things such as funding being cut I don't know about that having such an effect as from what I believe Equity is a company run on how much peple pay them to be a member anyway.
Government of the day proposing to prevent Union funding of the party.
I imagine a scenario where the current government decides that it should become a dictatorship and with support from other parties declares the Labour Party illegal.
Legal curbs on union rights (they're happening now!)
This government passed a gagging law preventing the group campaigning on political issues.
If governments made it illegal to secretly film inside factory farms, slaughterhouses, etc it would be devastating to PETA's attempts to get the truth 'out there'. I suspect many members would still carry out their mission but we would be an easy target fr prosecution and fines.
removal of environmental protection legislation
A change in leglislation meaning that my group has an even harder battle to educate people against something we believe very strongly is unethical and cruel
what i can think of is a situation where a government has granted/approved a company to carry out detrimental actions to a previously protected environment and its inhabitents, for financial reasons

How people use information to make decisions
People's inclinations towards co-operation or opposition
Decision making and activism, being passionate about the group you are part of or support.
People stance within groups and the influence that can be placed upon groups.
I think that the study is about people's attitude towards having their say, no matter what others may think and not caring who is affected whilst doing this.
participation in community activity against opposition
two scenarios deplicating negotion against protesting to sort out issues regarding your situation
I think it is about ideological conflict within political/pressure-group type organisations. Although it is undertaken by an Australian university the questions seem to imply the findings might be of interest to the Labour Party of Britain.

Views of leaders/groups and their following and how best to achieve their goals.

Whether negotiation or affirmative action is better and how people view the options

Please provide any comments you wish to make about this survey.
thank you for the opportunity to participate - nice to get the old grey matter working - well attempt to work!
The questions were over wordy and perhaps could be simplified.
Interesting study. I hope I got the analysis correct. Negotiation is better than fighting. Lobbying achieves little other than further discontent and hurt for others.
Very interesting and enjoyable to take part.
One question you said as 'wrong - the correct answer is...', but often groups SAY they are willing to negotiate, but, in reality, are not - hence my 'do not know' answer
I enjoyed it even though I had no idea of the point of it.
this was the most different survey I have ever done . I think it was a bit mean as I have a very bad short term memory and wanted to go back to read things to make a decision about a question
Not an easy survey - made me think hard.
1) overall interesting and straightforward questions but re the scenario with Pat and Jamie, a little bullet point list of main things about Pat and Jamie at the top of each subsequent screen would have helped 2) I felt the distinction between leadershipstyle was presented as Radical=mobilising people vs Moderate=negotiating with others.... these are not mutually exclusive.... if made it difficult to chose answers when chosing who I'd vote for...
Some aspects were unclear as to which scenario they related to
It was very interesting, it made me think
Enjoyable. Would like to know what it is actually about!
This was very interesting and gave me something to think about. It would be interesting to see results of the survey but I guess that would be asking too much. Thanks for the opportunity to participate anyway!
