A leading anti-Brexit campaign group described the poll as a 'a turning point moment'.
For the first time the public want a vote on the Brexit deal, a poll from Best for Britain showed today.
The research conducted with YouGov found that those who want a vote on the final deal have an eight point lead on those who don’t. The poll found that:
- 44 per cent of people want a ‘final say’ on the Brexit deal that Theresa May is negotiating.
- Whilst 36 per cent do not want a vote on it.
- And 19 per cent said they were not sure.
- Nearly a quarter of Leave voters (23 per cent) want a vote on the final terms.
Best for Britain said the poll was a ‘turning point’ and showed for the first time that the public wants a vote on the Brexit deal.
The poll also found that if there was a public vote on Britain’s membership of the European Union today 44 per cent of people would stay compared to 41 per cent still wanting to leave.
And 5 per cent of Leave voters said that they had changed their mind and would now like to stay within the European Union. A further 12 per cent of Leave voters either would not vote (3 per cent) or now don’t know (9 per cent).
Commenting on the findings, CEO of Best for Britain Eloise Todd said:
“The possibility of Brexit is sharpening the British public’s minds, and now there is a decisive majority in favour of a final say for the people of our country on the terms of Brexit. This poll is a turning point moment.
“The only democratic way to finish this process is to make sure the people of this country – not MPs across Europe- have the final say, giving them an informed choice on the two options available to them: the deal the government brings back and our current terms.
“We now need MPs across Parliament, from Corbyn’s front bench to the moderates of the Conservative party to do what’s best for Britain and back a people’s vote on the terms.”
