United Kingdom

'Brexit' takes 9-point lead

The campaign for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union has taken a nine-point lead over the rival 'in' campaign, according to a poll taken since Prime Minister David Cameron set out his proposals to keep the country in the bloc. The survey by YouGov in the Times newspaper, taken in the two days after Cameron set out his proposed changes for the UK's relationship with the EU, represents the biggest lead for the 'out' campaign since the referendum wording was agreed last September.
