It is worth

I attach a copy of the questionnaire prepared by SRH for the opinion poll, partly funded by UMELCO. noting the following points:

(a)

(b)

(c)

The survey is very detailed. There are questions on every aspect of the agreement.

Question 2 is the crucial one from our point of view. It gives the respondents an alarmingly wide choice of answer. I assume we (and hopefully SRH) will regard 5, 4 or 3 a yes vote for the agreement.

On the detailed questions they will only ask a random sample to reply on particular topics. This will make the answers less scientific and less believable.

Furthermore some of the questions are so detailed that I thought only

2 an expert could answer them.

The poll seems to be in part an educated exercise. pollsters are instructed to tell the respondents about the agreement (see x).

Section 4 repeats question 2. The questions at the end of Section 4 are rather alarming (do you regard the agreement as a sell out? etc).
