Support grows for Britain鈥檚 exit from EU

Support for Britain leaving the European Union has risen since Prime Minister David Cameron unveiled plans for a deal to keep it country in the bloc, according to a poll published yesterday.

The survey showed that 45 percent of Britons want to leave the EU, ahead of 36 percent who want the country to remain in the 28-member club.

That marked a three point rise for those in favour of the so-called 鈥淏rexit鈥 since a poll taken a week earlier.

Cameron has been seeking to renegotiate Britain鈥檚 relationship with the EU before a public referendum, which could be held as early as June.

The proposed changes include a four-year 鈥渆mergency brake鈥 limiting welfare payments to migrants, as well as a 鈥渞ed card鈥 system for national parliaments to overrule draft EU laws.

The poll of 1,675 adults was conducted by YouGov for The Times newspaper.

Nineteen percent of respondents said they did not know or would not vote.
