Forget 52%. The rise of the “Re-Leavers” mean the pro-Brexit electorate is 68%

[cyprusgrump]

In the eleven months since the EU referendum, it has become a common theme that we are now a nation divided – 52/48. However, while it is true that most people still think they voted the right way last June, when it comes to the composition of the Brexit tribes in the general election, it is not a simple as “Leave” and “Remain”.

There is a third group who change the dynamics of EU-related arguments – the “Re-Leavers.” These are people who voted to Remain in the EU and many still think that leaving was the wrong decision, but crucially now believe the government has a duty to carry out the will of the British people.

When taking this into account, we can split the country into three groups instead of two: The Hard Leavers who want out of the EU (45%); the Hard Remainers who still want to try to stop Brexit (22%); and the Re-Leavers (23%). The other 9% don’t know.

The pro-Brexit electorate is 68%

This is complete guff!

That 23% are not pro Brexit at all. I know because I am one of them. I think Brexit was a bloody big mistake, but given that is what the majority voted for, I think we should at least try and make it work. This does NOT make me pro Brexit.

A silly statistic based on nothing at all. Where was the survey done? How many were surveyed? Anyone can come up with a number.

Don't forget that 83.7% of stats are made up.

To be fair, I think the categorization was less to do with an absolute releaver split, and more to do with how the current state of remain/leave was playing into party support
