“I think the country is in serious danger of going to pot” — Portsmouth’s views on Brexit
The UK is scheduled to depart from the European Union at 11pm on Friday March 29, 2019.
This follows the referendum of June 23, 2016, to decide whether the UK should leave or remain in the EU. Leave won by 51.9% to 48.1%, with a referendum turnout of 71.8% as more than 30 million people voted.
The UK and EU have now agreed on the three “divorce” issues of how much the UK owes the EU, what happens to UK citizens living elsewhere in the EU and EU citizens living in the UK.
However, a report by YouGov has revealed a change in the public’s view regarding the transition.
Breaking Views went to Portsmouth to ask locals about whether they are ready for the change and whether they have any similar fears about the departure.
See the video below to find out their views.
