Half want to rejoin EU and backing it could drive up Labour vote, megapoll finds

·The Guardian·Impact 2/5 · Moderate

A new megapoll has found that almost half of all voters support rejoining the European Union after the next election. This finding could bolster those in the UK government who want to negotiate re-entry into the EU. The poll suggests that renegotiating the UK's relationship with the EU could boost Labour's vote share by up to seven points if the prime minister offered a fresh referendum on the issue. This could have significant implications for the UK's Labour party in the next election.
