A new poll, commissioned by the Open Britain campaign, shows that there is large scale support among the public for Britain staying in the Single Market, with 59% of people saying we should stay in the world's largest trading bloc and only 41% of people wanting to leave it.
58% of voters also thought that leaving the Single Market would have a negative impact on the UK economy, while only 30% thought it would have a positive impact and 12% thought it would not make a difference.
The poll also reveals that the continuing ability to trade freely with Europe overrides a desire for significant new immigration controls among a clear majority of voters. 62% of voters would prefer 'a continuation of the UK's ability to trade freely with European countries but only limited new immigration controls', while only 38% of people favoured the hard Brexit solution of 'significant new immigration controls on European workers but an end to the UK's ability to trade freely with European countries.'
