Opiniões sobre segundo referendo do Brexit

January 17, 2019 - Menos de quatro em cada 10 eleitores são favoráveis a um segundo
referendo sobre a saída da Grã-Bretanha da União Europeia. Oito em cada 10 conservadores opõem-se a um segundo referendo, enquanto quase seis em 10 eleitores trabalhistas são a favor.

Anthony Wells, Director of Political and Social Research, writes that a “No Deal” is an unpopular option, but is no deterrent to the British public.

Part of this appears to be a lack of understanding -- only 56% of people realise that “No Deal” means precisely that, leaving the European Union without any deal at all. Strangely, 26% think it that it includes an arrangement to ensure a smooth transition or a formal transition period.

While 49% say they would be worried by a “No Deal” Brexit, these are overwhelmingly Remain voters -- for 38% of the public as a whole, and 70% of Leave voters the idea doesn’t worry them.

Three quarters (76%) of Leave voters think warnings of No Deal disruption are exaggerated or entirely invented. Leave voters did not believe warnings about the damage Brexit could cause in 2016, and don’t accept them now.

Many argue that it would be seen as undemocratic to conduct a second referendum to reverse the result of the 2016 ballot.

When YouGov asked people whether it would be undemocratic to hold a second referendum, 47% said it would, while 39% thought it would be right to ask again given how much has changed. The vote split heavily down Brexit lines -- 69% of Remainers believe a second ballot would be democratic, while 79% of Leave voters think it would not.

YouGov conducted the poll of 1,754 British adults between January 7-8.
