More than a quarter of UK farmers prefer the Brexit “no deal” scenario, according to a new survey by UK-based real estate consultancy firm Knight Frank LLP among 200 UK farms.
For the “rigid Brexit without agreements”, 26 percent of the surveyed farmers and agricultural workers supported. A little less - 25 percent of farmers support the idea of holding a “second referendum with the opportunity to stay.”
A little less than a quarter of agricultural enterprises - 22 percent - approve the Theresa May deal, which ultimately passes through parliament. The idea of “Soft Brexit with the participation of the customs union or something like that” is supported by 16 percent of the surveyed farms.
For “something else”, 10 percent of the respondents spoke in favor. And only 2 percent support the "second referendum confirming the vote on leaving."
According to a Knight Frank report, most of the blame for the failure to make a deal, the respondents put on Brussels. This is reflected in their answers to the question whether they will vote differently if a second chance appears.
Although 84 percent of respondents did not change their minds, almost 80 percent said they would now vote for leaving, not for staying.
