Majority of Britons wants to remain as a member of the European Union (EU) rather than to leave, and has urged for a second referendum in order to make a final decision by themselves, according to a survey published on Sunday, citing voters demands.
The Britain is due to leave the EU on March 29, but the British Prime Minister Theresa May is struggling very hard to get her Brexit deal passed through the parliament with opening huge uncertainty over whether the deal could be possible or not, or even whether the country will vote to leave at all.
According to the survey by a polling firm YouGov stated that if second referendum would be hold immediately then 46 percent would vote to remain and 39 percent would vote to leave the EU, and the remaining other percent would not vote, or did not have knowledge, or would refused to display their respective answers to the questions.
And if it removes the undecided votes or refusal votes from the sample, 54 percent would vote to remain and 46 would be against the majority.
The sample is followed by other polls held in recent months which indicated a deeply divided electorate, where opinions have swung towards not leaving the EU and remaining in the EU. The 2016 vote session had 52-48 percent of votes in favour to leaving the EU.
People’s Vote campaign has commissioned the polls of above 25,000 voters, which is strongly heading with an increasingly vocal push to have a second referendum on May’s proposed Brexit deal.
May has on Sunday, reiterated her opposition to hold a second referendum saying it would be disrespectful and divisive to those people who voted to leave in the initial vote, and also hinted a lack of time available for the new referendum.
The survey showed that 41 percent though that the final decision over Brexit deal should be made by a new second referendum and 36 percent believed it should remain in the hands of parliament. After removing undecided voters, it stimulated that 52 percent voted in favour of second referendum and 47 were opposing it.
