indication from SADC (or South Africa) that pressure would come from outside to help ensure ‘free and fair’ elections, little action from the MDC-T, and violence seemingly increasingly being employed. 1.4 Report structure The rest of this report deals with the findings of the December 2010 Freedom House survey. Some findings are also compared with the results of the preceding September 2009 poll. Section 2 addresses issues of power in the Inclusive Government – power shifts, and how participation and performance in Inclusive Government (IG) have been affecting the main political players. Section 3 explores the violence-and-intimidation structure of contemporary, transitional Zimbabwe. Both violence and intimidation have been rife in Zimbabwe, and both in memory and in tangible form continue to impact contemporary politics. Section 4 focuses on constitution-making and the emerging new constitution, investigating how Zimbabweans have experienced the unfolding process and what their expectations of the new constitution are. Party support and declaration of vote intent follow in Section 5. The reality of low levels of revelation of party identity stands side by side to the proportion of Zimbabweans who do declare. Several parallel indicators of assessing party support are explored. Section 6 deals with elections – expectations of a next round of elections, and the experiential base of previous elections onto which new practice builds. Violence in the context of elections is one of the section sub-themes. Section 7 takes stock of Zimbabweans’ interest in politics, their media consumption patterns, and how these intersect with some of the demographics that were recorded in this survey. Conclusions and summary interpretations of the sections are encapsulated in the Executive Summary. 17
