Guido highlights two polls reporting this.
A YouGov/PoliticsHome poll showed that if there was an in/out referendum tomorrow, 50% would vote to leave and just 33% to stay. But 55% think it likely the UK will still be in the EU in 10 years time, while 32% think we will have left.
Obviously there's a democratic disconnect here. And that explains why the powers that be won't give the voters an EU referendum.
Lib Dems would vote 45% to 40% to stay in, while Labour supporters would vote 42% in and 42% out. But among Conservative supporters 66% would vote to leave, and only 21% to stay in.
All age groups would vote to leave except for the 18-24s, where 43% would vote to stay in, and 36% to leave. After that, the margin in favour of leaving rises with age.
The second poll has 49% saying they would vote to leave the EU in a referendum, while 25% would vote to stay in.
The political establishment is trapping the UK in the EU against our will. Which is a far greater scandal than hacking of slebs' and MPs' phones.

Indeed. Especially when you consider their insidious indoctrination of the young:

Agree with you John on the level of scandal, however a note of caution as explained over at my place today.
