Brexit poll: Would a second EU referendum change the result? VOTE HERE – Express.co.uk, Express.co.uk


Remainers are intent on calling a second referendum to break theBrexitimpasse despite Britons voting to leave the EU in 2016 . But on Saturday political sociologistPaula Surridge revealed how recent figures showed 90 percent of voters would vote the same as they did in 2016.

She said there hasn’t been a huge change of opinion on Brexit as people are likely to vote the same way in another referendum.

Ms Surridge told Express.co.uk: “Most people haven’t changed their minds on Brexit.

Ms Surridge’s comments come after Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage has he was confident Leave would win by an even larger margin if a second referendum was called.

Speaking at his party’s conference in London on Friday night, he said: “If we did have to face a second referendum, and provided we were given a proper question with a genuine Leave on the ballot paper, I have absolutely no doubt we would vote to Leave by a bigger margin than we did back in 2016. “

To cheers, he added:” But whatever happens, there will not be violent riots on ou r streets because we have got a well-run, sensible, moderate, democratic party called the Brexit Party.

“People won’t riot, they’ll come and join the Brexit Party and we’ll do this democratically and peacefully. “

Prime Minister Boris Johnson last week blasted opposition parties for “living in a fantasy world” over their plans to call a second referendum to overturn the Brexit result.

He told MPs the “paralysed” Parliament would keep delaying and sabotaging the Brexit negotiations.

He said: “The people at home know that this Parliament will keep delaying, it will keep sabotaging the negotiations because they don’t want a deal.

“The truth is that members opposite are living in a fantasy world.

“That somehow they are goi ng to cancel the first referendum and they are going to legislate for a second referendum and Parliament will promise that this time it really, really will respect that vote. “

While Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn has publicly refused to back a second referendum.

Under plans being drawn up by the Liberal Democrats and other opposition leaders, Boris Johnson could be forced to seek an extension to Article 50 before the European summit on October 17 – 18 .

After MPs passed a bill to stop a no deal Brexit, Mr Johnson is now legally obliged to seek an extension to Article 50 if a deal is not reached by the EU summit.

Announced by Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson on Wednesday morning, the Liberal Democrats will now look to pass another bill that would force Mr Johnson to seek an extension before traveling to Brussels.

Ms Swinson: “We simply cannot afford to wait until the 19 th of October to see whether or not the Prime Minister will refuse to obey the law again .

Liberal Democrats will be working with and talking with people across the different parties to find a way to remove that threat of a no deal Brexit more quickly.

“It is vital that we do this for our country future.”

Labor’s deputy leader Tom Watson has also called for a second referendum to “solve Brexit chaos”.

He said: “Boris Johnson has already conceded that the Brexit crisis can only be solved by the British people.

“But the only way to break the Brexit deadlock once and for all is a public vote in a referendum.

“ A general election could fail to solve Brexit chaos. ”
