Half of UK voters would back a fresh three-option referendum on a final Brexit deal, Sky News has reported. According to a poll for the station, British public opinion has shifted sharply against Brexit, with two-thirds of the public – including a large number of Leave voters – believing the outcome of negotiatio­ns will have a negative impact on Britain.

Sky Data took in a sample of 1,466... The referendum took in a sample of 33,568,184.

Freewheel I am a remainer. I believe Britain would be better off in the EU and it would cement our British identity further. But sadly, the majority didn’t agree with me. I know for certain my business interests and movement would be benefited by remaining, whereas leaving could leave me with some future problems. That said, I do not demand a second vote, as that would hurt me and future generation­s long-term. I am not challengin­g democracy, I would rather lose with pride than call for another referendum and push Britain closer to an anti-democratic existence. Britain voted, the votes were counted, we leave hard.

Media One Voice They didn’t campaign on a hard Brexit. They campaigned on have your cake and eat it. Crashing out definitely wasn’t going to happen. Doing that would be the worst betrayal of democracy.

As much as I would love to see a new vote, a three-way split will not settle it, this has to be a binary choice to actually get a result here.

Listen, it’s nice and simple we voted Leave so we Leave. Don’t insult people’s intelligen­ce by saying you didn’t know what you where voting for, yes you did. Leave the EU. End of. The EU have had their chance to sit down and negotiate like responsibl­e adults, but they have chosen to bully, threaten and scare the living daylights out of people. Let’s stop pussyfooti­ng around and tell them it’s no deal, money off table. I promise, no, I guarantee, they will change their tune sharpish.

I am the lawman Brexiters are running scared of the prospect of a factbased referendum, re leaving the EU. They’ve been found out.

Murren Hill Opinion polls are always constructe­d to get the answer the person asking the question wants to see. The only poll that does not do this is an actual vote by the electorate.

Euan Gray Polls are pointless. No one has ever asked me or anyone I know so who is being asked and what is their demographi­c? Stand outside Tory HQ and ask anyone leaving if they voted Labour, that’s how easy it is to fix results.
