The Guardian: At least two thirds of voters would oppose paying EU 'exit bill' of £10bn or more, poll suggests


Although voters would find some potential compromises acceptable, they are strongly opposed to others - particularly those involving making multi-billion pound payments to the EU to leave.

  • At least two thirds of voters think paying £10bn or more to the EU as an “exit bill”, would be unacceptable, a poll suggests. Some 64% would find a £10bn bill unacceptable and 70% would find a £20bn bill unacceptable, even though that sum is less than half what EU leaders are currently demanding.
  • Only a third of voters would find paying a £3bn “exit bill” acceptable, a poll suggests. 
  • Only a third of voters would find it acceptable to have a Brexit transitional deal that involved the UK still having to obey ECJ rulings during the transition period, a poll suggests.
  • Most voters would be happy to have a Brexit transitional deal that involved extending free movement of people during the transition period, a poll suggests.
  • Only a third of voters would oppose giving EU migrants preference over non-EU migrants after Brexit, poll suggests.
