A YouGov poll published on the 28th May 2009 suggests the British public trusts Green politicians far more than those of other parties.
Over 2,000 people were asked - regardless of the party they normally voted for - which party's politicians they thought were most likely to put their own financial interests before the interests of their country. Allowed to choose three parties, only 5% named the Greens as likely to put self-interest before the country's.
The survey also shows:
- Labour appeared to be the least trusted, with 45% of respondents naming Labour politicians as likely to put financial self-interest before their country.
- The Conservatives were almost as bad, with 40% naming them.
- Next were the BNP, the LibDems and UKIP on 20%, 16% and 15% respectively.
