>More than half of Britons now want to stay in EU - poll
>A poll has found that 51 percent of Britons would now keep European Union membership while 41 percent want to leave the bloc, a near reversal of last year’s referendum result.
>The BMG poll of 1,400 people for The Independent published on the newspaper’s website on Saturday came as Britain moves into a second phase of negotiations on exiting the EU, which will focus on trade.
>In the referendum last year, 52 percent of Britons voted to leave the EU and 48 percent voted to remain.
>Mike Smithson, an election analyst who runs the www.politicalbetting.com website who is also a former Liberal Democrat politician, said on Twitter it was “the biggest lead for Remain since (the EU referendum).”
>Prime Minister Theresa May this week secured an agreement with the EU to move Brexit talks on to trade and a transition pact, but some European leaders warned that negotiations, which have been arduous so far, could now become tougher.

Yep, but they will probably use this to push for a new referendum, or as the EU says

The numbers would be skewed due to Scotland who is overwhelmingly pro-EU, but even then this a sample size of 1,400. See here what's reflected from the margin of error:
>Whilst the Remain lead may be eye-catching, as is the case with all polls that show one side narrowly “out-in-front”, at this stage readers should treat the results with caution. The narrow Remain lead is within the poll’s margin of error, +/- 2.5 percentage points, where we can be confident that that the actual results falls. This means that, as for most polling results published at this time, both sides are effectively “neck and neck”. Indeed, statistically speaking it is entirely possible, from these results, that Leave is slightly ahead.
You can look at the entire article and find that the monthly graph this based on has hardly changed.

Pretty happy to see Britain has more or less held strong over the process, 3% is a very small change, considering how mismanaged the Tories have been with Brexit.
As a side note, what do you guys hope to see come of Brexit in the future? I'm hoping for much closer ties to the Commonwealth (ignore flair, am Australian) and maybe some kind of pseudo-empire?

I suspect stronger ties to America. Hopefully a stronger Russian relationship, then a gradual process into a more redpilled nation as the continental drift sets in. But, I only see this after Brexit, which so far has been diplomatic fuckery. I'd like there to be a strong Commonwealth like there was before, but that would require some centralisation and pure grade real politicks.

I said after Brexit. It was doubtful that old hag could even make it through the general election. She's not staying past Brexit.

So let's look at what these numbers really reflect.
In Scotland, the most Pro-EU part of all of the UK, they are only 51% remain. This is also definitely in an incredibly biased sample size considering those hosting it, and the kind of person that sits around answering polls for niggers all day.
You know maybe its possible that the UK actually wants to leave the EU.
