Poll: Most Tories would back a no-deal Brexit rather than support Theresa May's withdrawal agreement


More than half of Tory party members prefer a no-deal Brexit over Theresa May’s withdrawal agreement, a new poll today suggests.


Around 57 per cent of Conservatives would support leaving the EU with no agreement compared to just 23 per cent prepared to back the Prime Minister’s vision.

The Yougov poll, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), also found that only 15 per cent of Tories would support staying in the EU.

In a two-way referendum, only 29 per cent of Tories would support May’s Brexit deal, compared with 64 per cent who would prefer the UK to crash out of the EU without a deal.

The results are yet another blow to May, who was forced to postpone parliament’s vote on her deal in December as it faced near-certain defeat.



However, European Commission president Jean Claude-Juncker confirmed again in the

new year that May’s deal cannot be renegotiated, saying there will be no further

talks between the UK and EU before parliament is due to vote.

“No further meetings are foreseen between the commission's negotiators and the UK

negotiators as the negotiations have indeed been concluded,” a spokesperson for

the president said.

Mr E - are you suggesting CAPITAL punishment for Redwood or do you type in support of him?

[cm44] 04/1/2019 11:57

[cannyshoveyergrannyoffthebus] 04/1/2019 11:56

Maybe biscuits with the Tea and Coffee

REDWOOD IS A GRAMMAR SCHOOL BOY FROM A COUNCIL HOUSE.

[minerve] 04/1/2019 11:40

Gove definitely gets pegged by his wife every night. You know who wears the trousers in that house.

[m4rtinu] 04/1/2019 11:34

SV - she should have had him stuffed! Mind you, it looks like someone is constantly stuffing him with his overdone eyebrow-raise and over-intense wide-eyed look.

Bloody Grammar School boyz should know their place; like me :)

[minerve] 04/1/2019 11:33

Excellent idea. Get it done all over the UK.

[maxk] 04/1/2019 11:06

I quite like the idea of Gove standing behind Treeza.

[semper vigilans] 04/1/2019 10:52

...and his wife is a liability, but maybe we should thank her for stuffing his leadership chances.
Then look what we got instead!

[m4rtinu] 04/1/2019 10:42

Gove is very untrustworthy.

[mikemichael2] 04/1/2019 10:03

Not too keen on this Hairy Januhairy thing !!

[poikka] 04/1/2019 09:56

Gove is only interested in Gove.

[diku] 04/1/2019 09:49

Is Gove playing the double fiddle?...

No, Mr Gove, the Withdrawal Agreement is not a good idea on any count
By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JANUARY 4, 2019
Mr Gove used to be in favour of Leave. Now we puts out the worst kind of Project Fear nonsense and seeks to prevent us leaving for at least another 2 years and maybe double that.

I have some straightforward questions for him:

1. When will he and Dr Fox publish the UK tariff schedule for March 30 2019 to trade under WTO rules? Our farmers and traders need to know now.
2. Will our tariff schedule set tariffs that are lower and fewer in number than we currently have to impose under EU rules?
3. What is the right balance between cutting tariffs on food to help the consumer, and keeping some tariff protection which will offer some protection against European imports for the first time?
4. What increase in UK market share in temperate foods is he aiming for once we do impose some tariffs on EU competitors?
5. Is he now going to write food production in as a central aim of his White Paper and legislation?
6. Is he going to keep environmental and health and safety and animal welfare levels the same as at present when we decide or is he going to legislate to improve them?
7. When will he announce a fishing policy that takes back control of our fishing grounds and allows our home based industry to expand?

Brexit is huge opportunity to cut food miles, grow more of our own food, to rescue our fishing grounds and land more of our own fish, and to build bigger food processing industries close to good agricultural supply. That requires the Secretary of State to stop trying to delay Brexit and stop trying top scare us, and to get on with making some decisions and putting through legislation that will be good for UK farming and fishing.

If i was a betting man I'd say this might be about as good as it is going to get for domestic stocks. The 650 economic saboteurs reconvene next week to spook the life our of UK plc. I'm ready for portfolio destruction, but if i sold sod's law would call a rally.

[maxk] 04/1/2019 09:16

Gove is now a remainer.

[excell1] 04/1/2019 09:08

Govey seems to have done a complete U turn in recent weeks.

[pal44] 04/1/2019 08:55

Govey will be PM in 10 weeks don't worry.

[gotnorolex] 04/1/2019 08:55

Japanese all set to go for the jugular in '19 by direct marketing durable goods to UK consumers post free! Britain first before the mainland as we have the most efficient distribution logistics in Europe!

[maxk] 04/1/2019 08:41

Given the contempt the tory party hierarchy have for it's members (except election time) I cant see that poll swaying the maybot from her course.
