A new YouGov
survey published yesterday will boost the Prime
Minister’s confidence in her Brexit plan, with nearly two-fifths (39 per cent)
supporting her proposal to regain full control over how Britain is governed and
who can live here, even if that means not having a free trade relationship with
the EU.
Only 15 per cent of the 1,633 respondents went for a softer option,
saying the UK should concede some immigration controls to Brussels in order to
secure the best possible trading links with the remaining 27 EU member
states.
One in ten said Mrs May should seek to remain as close to the EU as
possible with some form of associate membership, 23 per cent thought Britain
should remain in the bloc despite last summer’s Brexit vote and 13 per cent were
not sure what sort of departure the UK should
pursue.
