85percent.gifThe Fabian Society/YouGov Equality Poll of more than 3,000 voters shows both a desire for greater equality in Britain, and some acknowledgement of change in the last decade. The electorate - old, young, rich, poor, Tory or Labour - wants a fairer Britain in which vast and entrenched differences in income, in opportunity and in life chances are narrowed.

This poll, for the politics issue of the Fabian Review, carries a very clear message for Gordon Brown – the British public is overwhelmingly in favour of a fair and equal Britain. The vote for an equal chance in life for everyone was even greater than even some Fabians might expect: 96 per cent of this representative group said that it was a good idea for Britain to be a place where no child grows up in poverty; and 85 per cent said in Britain the gap between the rich and the poor should be much smaller.
