2002-04-06 I don't think such a survey really should be made in any of the countries at this point. It is too early to get accurate results. I think the surveyors should wait at least a year until all of the "excitement" dies down and complete stability is reached. I'm sure there are still a lot of loose ends that need tying up.
Surveys don't always reveal much real valuable information. It is hard to tell who answers survey questions honestly or who understood the question correctly and if the participants were a well balanced group. And even if the survey was accurate, the change is made and can not be un-done.
