Brexit could see Scotland edge towards independence and Northern Ireland close on reunification with Ireland, a new poll has revealed.

Just 43 per cent of Scottish voters said they would vote for Scotland to remain part of Britain after Brexit, according to a study by Best for Britain and Our Future Our Choice.

The research showed Brexit is also harming support for the union in Northern Ireland, where a majority would back a united Ireland.  Only 39 percent would vote to remain part of UK if Brexit goes ahead. 

There is growing opposition to a so-called “hard border” across Ireland, which could fuel talks of reunification. The poll found 56 percent of people in Northern Ireland would be willing to vote for a united Ireland if the UK left the EU and a hard border were set up.

Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU by a majority of 56 percent to 44 percent in 2016.

Scotland voted to remain with a majority of 62 per cent.

Tory MP Phillip Lee, a supporter of a second referendum, said the latest poll results showed Brexit was “project risk”.

The former justice minister said: “We know we risk losing jobs, it’s already started. We know we risk losing influence, as we become a taker rather than a maker of rules. Now we also risk losing our union. The only legitimate course now is to suspend or revoke Article 50 and call a second referendum offering people a choice between the leave the Brexiteers want and remaining in the EU on a new deal.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
