maltatoday, SUNDAY, 28 SEPTEMBER 2014 8 JAMES DEBONO WHILE 50% would vote against Spring hunting, only 27% would vote in favour of retaining it. Moreover 60% replied that they agree with a referendum on this issue being held and 52% will surely vote in it. This emerges from a survey conducted by MaltaToday among 526 respondents in the first two weeks of September – be- fore the government's decision to sus- pend the Autumn season after a spate of illegal poaching and violent protests which saw hunters insulting the Prime Minister and attacking birdwatchers and journalists. The survey confirms that Labour vot- ers were the only demographic group strongly opposed to the Spring hunting ban while Nationalist voters, younger voters and university graduates are the most likely to favour the ban. This suggests that by embarking on a direct confrontation with the Labour government over the temporary suspen- sion of the Autumn season, hunters may well have shot themselves in the foot, al- ienating the only sector of voters which was supporting them. Yes gains 6 points The survey shows that the yes cam- paign which favours the spring hunting ban has gained six points since the last survey held in July when only 44% sup- ported the ban. A comparison with previous surveys conducted by MaltaToday shows the yes camp picking up six points from June but still 10 points under the level of support in July 2013. The survey shows the percentage of those not intending to vote increasing from 6% to 15%. This is an indication that respondents are shifting from the no camp to an abstention. Interestingly, the undecided percentage has also fallen. Respondents were asked how they in- tend to vote in the referendum, asking them whether they want to ban spring hunting or not. While 39% favour the retention of spring hunting only 27% would vote no. A breakdown by age shows that support for the yes camp declines with age from 62% among under 34 year olds to 43% among over-55 year olds. A breakdown by sex reveals that females are more inclined to vote yes for a ban. The difference is quite substantial espe- cially when one considers that surveys on other divisive issues rarely result in such a gender difference. This suggests that fe- males are more sensitive to the issue. A breakdown by education shows sup- port for the yes camp highest among the university educated (70%) and lowest among those with a secondary (46%) or primary education (34%). A breakdown by electoral district shows strong support for the yes camp in the ninth, tenth and eleventh districts, which lean towards the Nationalist Party. Gozo is the only district where a relative ma- jority would vote no. The no camp is also strong in the fourth, fifth and sixth dis- tricts while abstention is highest in the Labour leaning first, second and third districts. Labour voters against ban Respondents were also asked for which party they voted in the 2008 and 2013 elections. The survey shows that three quarters of respondents who voted PN in 2013 would vote against spring hunting while a relative majority of Labour vot- ers (43%) would vote in favour of spring hunting. Only 35% of Labour voters sup- port the spring hunting ban. Switchers who voted PN in 2008 and PL in 2013 are split. Respondents who did not reveal their vote in the 2013 election are more inclined to vote against spring hunting (49%). The survey shows a small increase in support for the yes camp in the Labour camp since June but the majority of PL voters still intends to vote no. Support for the spring hunting ban fell from 49% in July 2013 to 31% in June 2014 only to rise again, to 35%, in September. Interestingly the number of Labour respondents who intend not voting has dou- bled since June. The survey also shows the yes camp mak- ing more substan- tial grounds Majority will vote • 60% support referendum • 52% will surely vote in referendum maltatoday, SUNDAY, 28 SEPTEMBER 2014 mt survey COURT NOTICE The Registrar, Civil Courts and Tribunals notifies that the First Hall of the Civil Court ordered the sale by Judicial Auction of the following property to be held in the corridors of the Courts of Justice, Republic Street, Valletta.
