The politics of Wind farms: Even CON voters are more in favour than against
But Ukip voters express the most opposition
By 33% to 31% ComRes poll finds CON supporters would be more likely to vote for candidates in the locals who are in favour of wind farms.

The findings above are from a new ComRes online poll commissioned by RenewableUK, the trade body for the wind industry.
One question, featured above, was on whether voters would be more or less inclined to vote for candidates who were in favour of wind power. CON voters by, admittedly, a small margin said here would be more likely to vote for such a contender.
Ukip voters were the only ones out of line with the general consensus which suggests that the Tories will probably harden their position even though, in his early days as leader, Mr. Cameron was a strong supporter.
