Interesting poll: However the question of whether the Government should not be allowed to tell individuals what they can (and cannot) wear, is a blanket question.

I feel the above question is too vague and all-or-nothing, especially when juxtaposed with questions about specific items of clothing.

A respondent could say that the gov shouldn't have any say about what we wear. Would that respondent disagree about the mandatory provision of protective clothing in hazardous workplaces?

Or would that respondent believe that anyone can walk around without any clothes, beyond naturist resorts or their own homes?

Thus I think just to ask whether the government should legislate about clothing 'full stop', is too simplistic, which is why you get the apparent contradiction.

To me it's a bit like asking somebody "do you like cheese": Then concluding they must like Edam (or another specific brand of cheese), because they answered "yes" to the general question.
