Here are the results of a poll which “asked 28,000 people in 27 countries to rate a dozen countries plus the EU in terms of whether they have a positive or negative influence”. These surveys are next to useless, but if nothing else they show how countries are routinely presented in the media.

So – which country is at the bottom? It’s below Iran, and it’s below North Korea.

Yes of course: the country which has the most negative influence on the world is…Israel!

[Top? The country with the most positive influence? It’s, um, Canada.]
