  • Three in five of the British public agree that Parliament has had plenty of time to debate Brexit and we should just get on with leaving the EU (60%), including one third (35%) of 2016 Remain voters.
  • Two in five 2016 Remain voters (39%) and nine in ten 2016 Leave voters (88%) agree that whether or not they voted for Brexit, the 2016 Referendum should be respected, also including four in ten of those intending to vote Labour at the next election (38%).
  • Two in five British adults say the UK should stay in the EU (37%), compared to half who say the UK should leave with or without a deal by 31st October 2019 (49%).

  • Once again the country’s polarised state is pronounced, as half of 2016 Leave voters (54%) would feel betrayed by the UK remaining in the EU, whereas half of 2016 Remain voters (51%) would feel pleased at this.
  • Four in ten (38%) 2016 Leave voters believe Boris Johnson bears no responsibility for the current Brexit deadlock.
