A growing majority of British people now want Theresa May to call a second Brexit referendum if she fails to secure a deal on Britain’s exit from the EU.
57% of voters who stated a preference, said they would want another vote under those circumstances, according to a new BMG poll.
Among younger voters the majority is even larger, with 73% of 18-34 year-olds now backing a second vote.
The poll also found overwhelming support for a second referendum among Labour voters, with 74% calling for a new vote if May fails to win a deal.
A separate poll conducted by Comres last week found that voters would now back Remain, if Britain went back to the polls. It found 55% would now support Remain, with 45% backing Leave, according to the poll for the Daily Mirror.
The findings will put pressure on May to rule out leaving the EU without a deal. The prime minister has previously repeatedly insisted that “no deal is better than a bad deal.”
Labour has also so far refused to back calls for a second referendum, despite support among Labour voters and members.
