Two-thirds of Britons back chemically castrating sex offenders - with majority support from supporters of all main political parties, a poll revealed today.
Some 67 per cent back the policy while 16 per cent oppose it, after Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood revealed this week that 20 prisons will pilot the idea.
Those who voted Reform in the last general election are the most likely to 'strongly' support the idea at 59 per cent, followed by Conservative voters at 44 per cent.
Labour voters follow on 37 per cent, then those who backed the Liberal Democrats on 33 per cent, according to the YouGov study of more than 4,500 adults in Britain.
However all four parties have a majority of voters who either 'strongly' or 'somewhat' support the policy, compared to those who 'strongly' or 'somewhat' oppose it.
