A Labour victory would be better for the Voluntary Sector

Third SectorBy Alex Smith / @alexsmith1982

The research agency npfSynergy has conducted a poll showing that third sector staff overwhelmingly believe a Labour victory at the general election would be the best outcome for the voluntary sector.

More than 700 voluntary sector staff responded to the survey, and 42% said a Labour government would be best.

18% said a Lib Dem government would be best for the sector, 14% said a hung parliament and 13% wanted a Conservative government.

51% of respondents said Labour had made a big difference to the sector since coming to power in 1997.
