I am not sure where Mr. Brady is doing that research. I can only go on my experience. We knock on many doors and climate change has been the main issue in the past two elections. The electorate has been way ahead of the Government and politicians. The main issues are climate change, health and housing. People were crying out to be a part of the solution. I am not taking issue with Mr. Brady's research; I am just saying it is very limited with a particular view, as opposed to having the remit to look at how behaviour changes. That requires psychologists and representatives from other disciplines.
