Fawcett Society Prorogation and Brexit Poll September 2019

Survey of GB adults on their attitudes towards Brexit, and prorogation.

Just one in five women voters (21%), compared with 36% of men, describe themselves as ‘relaxed’ about the prospect of a no deal Brexit.
Men are nearly two times as likely to say they are relaxed about the impact that it is having on their own wellbeing than women (32% compared with 17%).
Less than a quarter of women (24%) have confidence in the Government’s planning compared with a third (33%) of men.
Women in work are feeling far less secure than men – just 36% have confidence in their employer’s Brexit plans, compared with almost half of men (48%).
Nearly two in five men (37%) are relaxed about them and their family’s future if the UK leaves the EU without a deal, in comparison with just a fifth of women (21%). Women and men have different views on the Prime Minister’s decision to prorogue Parliament, with women less relaxed than men (23% vs 37%).
Fewer than 1 in 10 voters, women (8%) or men (9%), has any confidence in politicians’ ability to work together across party lines.
