بعد از "اسکوئی درباره ایران" شما یک : لازم دارید.
it seems to me if Iran was as authoritarian as suggested, those result wouldn't of been made public... they do seem plausible though I have no sincere idea what iranians think being but an observer.

The Majlis Resreach center is the iranian parliament
If the reult would not ben made public, why it is published by uskowi ?
The research paper does not state how the respondents were selected and how the polling was conducted.
This is stat 101, for a research to be credible it needs to outline the methodologies for selecting and conducting the polling.
The methodology has been disclosed by Majlis Research Center in its report. If you click on the link, you will see Donyaye Eghtesad's piece (in Farsi) which contains the methodology. Please note Majlis Research Center is a professional organization that conducts polls as part of its mission.
