THE INDEPENDENT: Party conferences will decide the fate of Brexit – but are any of them up to the task?

Press/Media: Research

Description

On the contrary, the study’s authors, Professor Ed Fieldhouse and Dr Chris Prosser of Manchester University, showed that 10,317 of the 30,000 voters surveyed considered Brexit to be the main issue of the election and voted Labour to oppose hard Brexit. The study shows a large number of Tory Remainers holding their nose and voting for Corbyn because Labour was seen as the party of soft Brexit in contrast to the Tories who are seen as the hard Brexit party.
