Support for Brexit campaign is rising
THE campaign for Britain to leave the European Union has taken a 2 percentage point lead, according to an ICM poll, indicating a dispute in the Conservative Party may have dented confidence in Prime Minister David Cameron’s push for the country to stay in.
Support for Britain to leave the EU rose to 43 percent, up 2 percentage points from a poll a week ago and the highest proportion in favour of a British exit since ICM started its referendum tracker in May 2015.
Three months before a June 23 referendum, the poll of 2,000 people carried out from March 18-20 showed the “In” campaign at 41 percent, down from 43 percent a week ago.
Cameron faces one of the deepest crises of his decade-long leadership of the Conservatives after senior cabinet minister Iain Duncan Smith, who opposes EU membership, resigned last week over plans to cut welfare.
Divisions over EU membership have amplified such disputes within the party. “The Tories are overtly split and that is never a good look,” said ICM director Martin Boon.
