Focus our study

Arguably a combination of all of those things. I don't think each of those (personal taste, knowledge, attitude) are independent of one another. At the end of the day I believe we are trying to see the general trends regarding voting Canadians on this issue. If Harper is acting on our wishes and our survey reflects a 'general' push to remain and fight in Afghanistan(to varying degrees) then we have a successful democracy. If not, we have a leader not acting in the interests of the majority - a clear problem.

Please refer to my question proposed as a reply to Julia's 'compartive' suggestion.
