'Leave' Takes Shocking 19-Point Lead In Brexit Poll

Now I'm not one to place a lot of confidence in opinion polls for many reasons, one of the main ones is that not only do the polling companies nor publish a figure for how many people responded don't know / don't care / eff off and don't call me again. That last category is the most significant one, thirty years ago, even twenty, people would fall over themselves to make their opinions known if given a chance. Now trust in the political system and the media has eroded to such an extent that pollsters often have to phone on average five people to get one willing respondent (source UK Polling Report)

But what the polls published over this weekend do tell us is that the REMAIN campaign had a terrible week.

The headlines go from bad to worse for the David Cameron, and the UK and EU political establishments as hot on the heels of two polls showing LEAVE opening a ten point lead this weekend the latest. by Opinium, shows "Brexit" leading by a remarkable 19 points (52% chose to leave the EU against 33% choosing to keep the status quo).  This surge in "leave" probability comes despite an additional 1.5 million voters having registered this week (which many expected to increase "remain" support). Further anger towards EU was exposed when former cabinet minister Iain Duncan Smith warned that seven new prisons will need to be built in the UK by 2030 to cope with the rising number of migrant criminals (presumably due to 'staying' in the EU).
 
The Express reports,

The Opinium Poll, commissioned by the Brexit-backing Bruges Group think tank, is further evidence that the Leave camp is gaining support and delivers the biggest margin of victory for Brexit so far, after giving voters the option of a choice of free trade agreements with the EU.

It found 52 per cent chose to leave the EU, with only 33 per cent choosing to keep the status quo.

Despite there being less than two weeks before the crucial referendum, on June 23, a further 15 per cent said they still didn't know.

Of those who voted to leave the majority, 39 per cent, said that Britain should have some sort of Free Trade Agreement with the EU, similar to the one currently enjoyed between the US, Canada and Mexico.

Speaking last night Robert Oulds, director of the Bruges Group, said it was important to  which allow trade with the European Economic Area.

"This new poll shows there are a majority of voters who prefer an economic rather than economic and political arrangement with the EU. These include people who might otherwise have voted to remain in the EU," he said.

“Clearly we can be free, have more democracy and be better off if we ditch or cancel our EU membership, and join a Free Trade Agreement like the one people thought they were voting for in 1975.”

He's right and the REMAIN gang screwed up badly when they relied on smear and sneer tactics and the notorious Project Fear, with Europhiles making ridiculous claims about economic catastrophe, and even trying to tell people that Britons would not be allowed to visit EU countries for holidays.

The political left have further antagonised working class voters with risible claims that supporters of REMAIN are more intelligent, liberal and open minded and Brexit supporters are knuckle dragging, racist, Xenophobic neanderthals. It is typical of the arrogance and stupidity that they believe such behaviour will win over their opponents.
