Exclusive: Nearly Half Of Voters Want Another Brexit Referendum Within Five Years

Nearly half of voters want another EU referendum within the next five years, a new poll has revealed.

The survey by the More in Common think-tank shows that one in four of the public - 26% - want another Brexit vote in the next 12 months.

A further 21% would like it to be held between now and 2028.

Only 6% believe the public should have to wait at least a decade to be asked whether they want to rejoin the bloc, while 27% say there should never be another referendum on the subject.

In a boost for Brexit supporters, support for staying out of the EU has increased.

According to the poll, 40% of voters support the status quo, an increase of five points from when a similar question was asked by More in Common in June.

Meanwhile, 45% of the public believe the UK should seek to rejoin, down two points from June.

The poll also showed that 14% of those who voted Leave would now back rejoining, while 19% of Remainers would support staying out.
