Based on polling of more than 9,000 people across the UK and the EU’s five most populous countries – Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Poland – in the weeks after Trump’s election win in November, the ECFR study found the strongest enthusiasm for renewed ties were in Britain.

Perhaps the most striking finding was that 54% of Britons who voted leave, including 59% of voters in “red wall seats”, said in exchange for single market access they would now accept full free movement for EU and UK citizens to travel, live and work across borders.

This could be because the surge in net migration to the UK after 2016 meant that Brexit was no longer seen by its supporters as the answer on immigration, the report suggested.//

i know a couple of brexit voters to whom this would apply but i am very skeptical indeed about the percentages in this report. 
 

what do you think?

An European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) thinktank commisioned it Khandro, guess thats not biased🙄

Sly wording trying to associuate the 9000 with the UK when if read carefully it is across 6 coutries.  So not much of a poll was it?

i think the goal was to compare samples in different countries so you would need to do that in more than one place wouldn't you

I think it's a load of baloney.

No Brexiter as you put it, who hasn't endured an accident causing them brain damage since the referendum, wants free movement. One can easily say this without data because it is simply common sense.

 

Clearly this is just another Remoaner claim.

Yet another duff poll, designed to whip up the Remoaners into a bizarre frenzy.
