A study covering 7 European countries and conducted by YouGov in the UK has found that people’s perceptions of right-wing bias were most pronounced in the UK.

The study, involving 8,358 people also shows that UK citizens were the most likely to think that the press is too negative about immigration.

Overall 26 per cent of the survey respondents said that UK newspapers, radio and TV was “too right-wing” as opposed to 17 per cent who said it was “too left-wing.” The study focused on five topics: immigration, housing, health, economics and crime.

It is important to note that there only 7 countries involved in the study: France, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, UK and Finland, which leaves out quite a few other European countries. View some of the stats from YouGove below:
