Majority of Britons favour public vote on any Brexit deal

When asked ‘should the final deal/agreement reached by the government be put to a public vote?’, 52% of respondents said yes, 29% said no, and 19% said they didn’t know.

Remaining in the EU and revoking Article 50 is the most popular outcome for the public, according to the survey, with one in three ( 33%) saying this is their most favourable scenario.

Over a fifth of respondents ( 23%) said leaving the EU with no deal was the scenario they favoured most. Fewer than one in 10 ( 9%) want to leave the EU with Theresa May’s deal, 13% want to leave but remain in the single market/customs union, while 22% said they ‘don’t know’.

Support for a public vote is higher amongst remain voters, with 71% saying there should be a vote on any final agreement reached by the government, compared with 37% of those who voted to leave the EU.

The poll also found that one in three ( 32%) expect that leaving the EU without a deal on 31^st October would personally affect them negatively this year – but another third ( 33%) believe it will be neither positive or negative, while 22% think it would be positive for them.
