Fewer than one in 10 voters think legalising assisted dying should be a priority for their local MP, according to a new mega-poll.A survey of more than 10,000 voters revealed just 7 per cent think legalising assisted dying should be among their local MP's top three priorities over the next 12 months.The MRP poll, a constituency-level modelling technique, also revealed widespread opposition to any bid to force through already-failed legislation.The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, which proposed setting up a framework for assisted dying in England and Wales, fell in the House of Lords earlier this year.Peers ran out of time to conclude their debates on the Bill - amid accusations of filibustering - before the last parliamentary session ended in April.But, despite the failure of the Bill - which was fronted by Labour MP Kim Leadbeater - supporters of assisted dying have indicated they might try and revive the legislation.Those who backed Ms Leadbeater's original Bill could use the Parliament Act to bypass the Lords if they can get another MP to take it through the Commons again.Yet this would be in the face of voters' opposition, the mega-poll - conducted by Whitestone Insight on behalf of The Other Half think tank - suggested.It showed a majority in every single British constituency do not want their MP to support a law pushed through Parliament without full scrutiny by both Houses.
