【ロンドン21日共同】21日付の英紙ガーディアン(電子版)によると、同紙の世論調査の結果、ブレア首相がイラク派遣部隊の撤退期日を決めるべきだとの回答が71%に上った。
今年5月の調査では「必要なだけ駐留するべきだ」との回答が45%だった。同紙は、イラクで続発するテロなどを受け、イラク派兵に対する英国内の雰囲気が大きく変わってきたと分析している。
撤退期日決定を求める意見は、リベラル派野党の自由民主党支持者で75%、ブレア首相率いる与党労働党の支持者でも73%に上った。
調査は17日から19日まで、18歳以上の約1000人を対象に電話で行われた。

Most voters want date set to bring troops home

The overwhelming majority of voters - 71% - including Labour supporters want Tony Blair to set a date for the withdrawal of British troops from Iraq, according to this month's Guardian/ICM opinion poll.
The finding represents a big swing in public mood since May when 45% of British voters told ICM the troops should remain in Iraq "for as long as necessary".
Growing violence in Iraq over the summer and the high-profile interviews with the families of dead British soldiers may well have contributed to this change in public opinion.
Sixty-six British soldiers have been killed in the conflict.
The mood is strongest among women, 77% of whom want a date set for withdrawal, compared with 63% of men.
The Guardian's monthly Iraq tracker poll on whether the war was justified continues to show the balance of opinion against the military attack, with 45% saying it was unjustified.
This is in contrast to the 40% who believe it was justified by the removal of Saddam Hussein.
Anti-war sentiment in Britain peaked in July, when 56% of the adult population said they believed it was not justified.
But sentiment on this question has shifted over the summer and this month's poll showing opposition to the war 9 points lower, at 45%, may reflect the increasing savagery of some of the attacks by the insurgents.
This drop in anti-war sentiment has only translated into a two-point increase in sup port for the war since July, which is up from 38% to 40%. Instead it has provoked a greater scepticism about the motives of those involved with those who say they don't know whether it was right or not more than doubling, from 6% to 14%.
The growing support for the withdrawal of British troops explains the prime minister's nervousness about publicly committing any more British soldiers to the conflict despite reports of repeated assessments by military experts that further battalions may need to be sent.
The ICM data shows that support for withdrawing troops is almost as strong among Labour voters (73%) as Liberal Democrats (75%).
Even among Conservative supporters, two-thirds want to see a date set.
The feeling is equally spread across social classes and age groups.
· ICM interviewed a random sample of 1,005 adults aged 18 and over by telephone from September 17-19. Interviews were conducted across the country and the results have been weighted to the profile of all adults.
