Public’s clear support for renewing the UK’s membership of the EU must be considered as part UK-EU summit discussion, campaigners urge.

New polling from Queen’s University Belfast has found 52% of voters in Northern Ireland believe the UK should rejoin the EU.
This comes ahead of the upcoming UK-EU summit in Brussels next Friday, November 20th where it’s expected agreements on food and drink, youth mobility and energy will be made.
Naomi Smith, Chief Executive of Best for Britain, said:
“The Prime Minister rightfully doesn’t want to get ahead of the public on EU membership but these numbers and our own findings repeatedly show the public is already there, and want to see us back at the heart of Europe where we belong.
“As Andy Burnham packs his bags for the upcoming UK-EU Summit, he needn’t travel lightly; he can take the heft of the public’s clear backing for EU membership with him to Brussels.”
