Party views of TTIP:

Conservatives - support
Labour - support
Liberal Democrats - support

Greens - oppose
UKIP - oppose
SNP - oppose

I am personally very opposed, and believe that TTIP is possibly the most dangerous legislation in modern history. The idea of corporations being able to sue elected governments if they do anything that may cause loss of profits is ludicrous. Food safety will be trashed, the environment will be wrecked, and the NHS will be privatised.

Poll coming.

Like a lot of things, when you enquire further into it it doesn't appear as the great conspiracy that it gets painted at. There's a reason why it's a largely uncontroversial matter for 90% of the political world but the 'anti-establishment' parties scream murder about it

All I will say is that that is an EU published source. I don't think they would deliberately mislead anyone, but multiple sources are claiming different things.
