[edit] ICM Poll

The stop the war book (Stop the War:The story of Britain's biggest mass movement) claims that the ICM poll translates into around 1.25 million househoods and that since many households would have more then one person going this backs up the 2mill mark. I'm not sure if this is correct interpretation of the data. The book also wroungly assumes that some of those servayed might have ment they were going to scotland protest, however question is spesific in saying London demo. What do people think?
I think the servay is claiming that 6% of people (rather then households) had a person from their household go on march.
Population of England says that in 2001 (latest figgers avalible) there were 49,138,831 people in England, 6% of which is 2,948,330. So almost 3 million people (extraporlated) would have either gone or had some one else from their house hold go.
However, what if some people survayed lived in the same house?
I'm in a statistical tissy. Prehaps this is straying to far into orriginal research--JK the unwise 11:04, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
