Will Covid-19 change what the public expect of government?

COVID19造成了重大的社会和经济冲击，促使政府以和平时期前所未有的规模进行干预。现在出现的一个关键问题是，这一经历是否改变了选民对政府可以和应该做什么的期望，从而改变了一旦公共卫生危机结束，政客们必须应对的舆论氛围。这项研究将使用调查研究来评估英国人的态度是否在三个方面发生了变化。首先，危机造成的焦虑和社交疏远的经历是否让我们或多或少地信任了他人，容忍了那些行为与自己不同的人？其次，经济冲击和失业风险是否改变了我们对政府支出和提供福利的态度，转向了工作年龄的人？第三，一种国际传播疾病的经历是否让人们更希望控制我们的边境，尤其是在移民方面？第一次调查将于2020年进行，第二次调查将于2021年进行。这两个人都会问以前在大流行前的调查中提出的问题，从而有可能看到人们的态度发生了怎样的变化。

COVID19 has created a major social and economic shock that has impelled government intervention on a scale unprecedented in peace time. A key question that now arises is whether this experience has changed voters' expectations of what government can and should do - and so altered the climate of public opinion with which politicians will have to deal once the public health crisis has ended.This study will use survey research to assess whether attitudes in Britain have changed in three areas. First, has the anxiety created by the crisis and the experience of social distancing made us more or less trusting of others and tolerant of those who behave differently from ourselves? Second, has the economic shock and risk of unemployment changed our attitudes towards government spending and the provision of welfare to those of working age? Third, has the experience of an internationally transmitted disease created an increased wish to control our borders, most notably in respect of immigration?The first survey will be conducted in 2020, the second in 2021. Both will ask questions that were previously asked on surveys before the pandemic, thereby making it possible to see how attitudes have changed.
