From what Davis said, we need to think about a Limbo Brexit
If talks go down to the wire, ratification will go beyond them Brexits are like fairies. There are good ones, bad ones and if you say it with enough feeling, they might not exist at all. What we haven’t heard much of so far – though given David Davis’ comments at the Select Committee this week, we should have done – is the Limbo Brexit. What is that, you might ask. In a somewhat numerically-challenged observation, Davis claimed that a…
Month by month during 2017 how the “Leaving EU right” lead has moved in YouGov’s Brexit tracker
There’s a new YouGov poll out which has LAB retaining its 2 points lead over CON. The survey also included the firm’s regular trackers on opinion in relation to Brexit. In broad terms this has Brexit right at 43% (up 1) with Brexit wrong at 45% (same) so really not much change. The big picture is seen in the chart above – the nation remains broadly divided with the monthly average “right to leave” lead for only the second month…

“TEN COMMANDMENTS” poll finds LD voters most relaxed about murder with Leavers least concerned about lying
It’s YouGov’s cross-breaks which caught my attention That’s all fine but dataset from YouGov, helpfully, includes party and Brexit cross-breaks so we can see if there are any particular distinctions for different parts of the electorate. Although the sub-sample size for the LDs is small the fact that they are strikingly out of line on murder and and stealing to be worth highlighting. The same goes for Leave voters who seemed more relaxed about adultery and telling lies. Have fun…
