European Social Attitudes: Poles Lose Poll

"People in the EU's leading member states remain loyal to the organisation's founding values of openness and liberalism, the Guardian's five-country poll shows. Despite the economic crisis and the rise of extreme political parties, an overwhelming majority of Europeans describe themselves as liberal – even on issues such as gay rights..."

Even?!
It's hard to extrapolate much from this poll in The Guardian about how respondents feel about les gais, as people were not asked a specific question about how they thought about gay rights, but if they agreed with the statement; "My attitude to social issues - marriage, women's rights or gay rights - is liberal".
The results were
All 62, UK 60, Germany 68, France 59, Spain 72, Poland 49.
So we're lagging behind Spain and Germany and le average.
Well done Team UK!
