I am not familiar with the survey methodology used in the ESS. I
understand that it is based on a complex survey methodology. As such using
the weights in standard wls will not give correct results. The survey
package in R can give correct estimates. I think that stata can also do
this. Lumley (2010), Complex surveys - A guide to analysis using R.
Wiley. Lohr (2010), Sampling Design and Analysis 2nd edition, has a more
introductory treatment.
I have commented here because I have seen an analysis go very wrong because
of this problem. Please excuse me if my comment is out of order.

You should look at the documentation for the "wls" command.
