Dods Group: New MP, MSP, MEP Opinion Poll Released

Published

on

 

After such an extraordinary year, political intelligence specialist Dods has run an opinion poll among 279 members of the UK, Scottish and European parliaments, to obtain their views on how the UK governments and the EU have fared in tackling the coronavirus crisis, looking at the performance of policymakers, political leaders and healthcare systems, as well as their preparedness for further waves of the virus.

Full report available to download here >. Graphics from the report are free to use and available upon request.

Headline stats show that 62% of UK Members of Parliament say they are dissatisfied with the government’s COVID-19 response, with only 9% satisfied. UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has received a majority bad performance verdict and has not impressed respondents during the pandemic – both from within the UK and in Europe.  Two thirds of MPs (66%) believe he’s handled the situation badly; this, despite winning a large majority in the House of Commons in December 2019.

To the north in Scotland, however, the assessment of government seems more optimistic. A majority (58%) of Members of the Scottish Parliament say they’re satisfied with the government’s handling of the crisis. Scottish First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, seems to be hitting the right notes, with both UK MPs (58%) and MSPs (67%) impressed by her performance during the COVID-19 crisis, followed by UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak and then Labour Party Leader, Keir Starmer.

A larger percentage of MEPs are satisfied (39%) with the European Union’s handing of COVID-19, compared to 27% who are not and the majority agree the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen has handled the pandemic well (51%), although fewer say the same for EU Parliament President, David Sassoli (43%).

Against the backdrop of a possible winter recession the general consensus in both the European Union and Scotland is that economic recovery will take up to five years, with 47% of MEPs and 58% of MSPs agreeing to that respectively. In the UK government, however, 36% of MPs predict that the UK’s overall economy will take more than five years to bounce back.

Dods respondent insights show that jobs are at the epicentre of all recovery strategies, however, a lion’s share of MPs (65%) and MEPs (52%) do not think their respective leaderships are doing enough to support SMEs through the COVID-19 crisis. In contrast, the majority of Scottish Members of Parliament (51%) believe their government is bolstering SMEs well.

MPs have put the environment as a priority second only to job. This has been echoed in the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s recent ten-point plan for a ‘green industrial revolution,’ that mobilises £12 billion of government investment to create and support up to 250,000 ‘green jobs.’ MPs, MSPs and MEPs are on the same page when it comes to the need for their respective leaderships to invest in finding alternative solutions to combat plastic pollution (MPs: 77% agree / MSPs: 88% agree / MEPs: 90% agree).

Technology is seen as increasingly crucial. 81% of MPs, 71% of MSPs and 76% of MEPs agree that their respective leaderships should be doing more to ensure digital technology is accessible to everyone. Another important consideration for respondents, however, is implementing a review of existing cybersecurity legislation. In a similar vein, sentiments are aligned regarding 5G technology not being entrusted to companies headquartered overseas (MPs: 61% / MSPs: 51%/ MEPS: 62%).

Bitrue expands Bitcoin Runes Offerings with GPTV Listing and Staking Options

Published

bitrue-expands-bitcoin-runes-offerings-with-gptv-listing-and-staking-options

VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Leading digital asset exchange Bitrue continues its community-driven approach with the listing of a new Bitcoin Runes token, GPTV•AI•PEPE•KING (GPTV). This follows the recent addition of several other Bitcoin Runes tokens to the platform, including SATOSHI•NAKAMOTO (SATOSHI), LOBO•THE•WOLF•PUP (LOBO), RSIC•GENESIS•RUNE (RSIC), and DOG•GO•TO•THE•MOON (DOG). Trading for the GPTV/USDT pair commenced on April 30th, 2024.

What is GPTV?
GPTV is the native token of AI PEPE KING, a project claiming to be the “largest AI Meme Community” with a presence on both the Polygon (AIPEPE) and Bitcoin Runes (GPTV) blockchains. Notably, AI PEPE KING secured a $10 million investment to develop AI-powered customer service tools leveraging the ChatGPT technology. Additionally, they are building a “Dream Lottery” system. Revenue generated from these products is earmarked for buybacks and burns of both AIPEPE and GPTV tokens, potentially influencing their long-term value.
Staking Opportunities with Attractive Yields
Bitrue is also offering users staking opportunities for those holding BTR, AIPEPE, RSIC, or DOG tokens. By staking their holdings, users can earn rewards in GPTV, with estimated annual percentage yield (APY) varying on the staked token, with BTR offering 22.15%, AIPEPE at 23.18%, RSIC boasting a higher 31.37%, and DOG coming in at 23.62%. These yields present a potentially lucrative opportunity for users to grow their cryptocurrency holdings, but also come with financial risk and the potential for investment to return much lower yields.
Bitrue’s Focus on Community Engagement
The listing of these Bitcoin Runes tokens is a testament to Bitrue’s commitment to its user base. The decision to add these tokens stemmed from a community poll conducted through an X poll on Bitrue’s X account. This highlights the exchange’s dedication to incorporating community feedback into its decision-making process, fostering a sense of collaboration and shared interest.
With the addition of GPTV and the introduction of staking opportunities, Bitrue continues to expand its offerings for users interested in the burgeoning world of Bitcoin Runes tokens. The exchange’s focus on community engagement further strengthens its position as a platform that prioritizes user input and satisfaction.
