Banning so-called ‘conversion therapy’ is not a high priority for most voters, according to a survey commissioned by The Christian Institute.
The poll asked 2,091 UK voters to rank their top five policy priorities for the next 12 months from a list of 23 possible options.
The results showed that concerns about the NHS, inflation and the economy far outweighed banning conversion therapy.
Only 4% of voters said that banning conversion therapy was a policy priority for them. The majority want the government to focus on reducing NHS wait lists (68%), tackling inflation (49%), and growing the economy (44%).
These were followed by concerns about reducing illegal migration (33%) and energy security (29%).
Even among 18 to 24-year-olds, only one in 10 (9%) saw conversion therapy as a top five priority.
