Combination has also been shown to increase turnout in instances where a poll that traditionally experiences low turnout is combined with a poll where turnout is higher.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 28/01/2020 17:56:53 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith
