MPs exaggerate constituents’ opposition to onshore wind

MPs dramatically overestimate opposition to onshore wind farms in their constituencies and voters ‘think less’ of Parliamentary representatives who campaign against such developments, new polling shows. According to a survey of MPs, which was carried out by YouGov in October for the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU), 43% believe a majority of people in their constituency would oppose a new onshore wind farm, despite other polls showing cross-party support among voters.
