Weighted to reflect the population, 62% chose to rejoin, 35% to stay out while 3% were unsure or offering no opinion.

In the original 2016 referendum, the UK-wide result narrowly passed Brexit by 51.89%. At the time in north, 56% of voters had chosen to remain with 44% choosing to leave.

Much like the rest of the UK then lmao

It's a complete pisstake that a referendum with such slim a majority result, held immediately after the EU refugee crisis when anti-EU sentiment was at an all-time high both in the UK and elsewhere, has caused so much upheaval.

The likes of France and the Netherlands actually had greater anti-EU sentiment at the time than the UK had. Fortunately for them, their leaders weren't reckless morons like David Cameron was.
