An online poll over Brexit suggests Cornwall is as divided as ever about what should happen next.

Cornwall Live asked people two questions in an article run on Tuesday (April 9) night. Thank you to everyone who took part.

Brexit was first supposed to happen on March 29, 2019, but has been delayed and could be postponed again if the Prime Minister presents a 'clear plan with credible political backing' to EU leaders on Wednesday evening, after trips to Berlin and Paris for talks.

As of Wednesday morning more than 1,500 people voted in the polls which, while not fully representative, of course, give a flavour of opinion in Cornwall.

In the first question, the split between leavers and remainers was fairly evenly balanced although more people who responded to the poll in the article, 56% of the total, said they wanted to remain in the EU. This is a reverse of the 2016 referendum result in which 52% of the country, and a larger majority in Cornwall, voted to leave.

A small proportion of people, 14% of those who took part in the poll, said they had changed their minds since the actual Brexit referendum in 2016. In the Brexit referendum, 56.5% of those who took part in Cornwall wanted to leave while 43.5% chose to remain.

Opinions over what should happen next were also divided between the majority who would accept a no-deal departure and those who want a second referendum on any final deal.

Have you changed your mind about Brexit since voting in 2016?

We asked if people had changed their minds since the referendum in 2016.

Of the 1,548 votes, there was a high proportion of people who have stuck to their guns and not changed their minds.

Yet of those, there was a fairly even split between leavers and remainers, with a touch more people saying they wanted to remain in the EU - which obviously reflects on the participants more accurately than the actual results, since the original majority were for leaving.

The figures show 746 of people asked, or 48%, still wish to remain in the EU.

On the other hand, 581 people, 38%, still want to leave.

Of those who had changed their minds, 145 people, or 9%, said they had voted to leave but would now wish to stay.

Meanwhile, 76 people, 5%, had voted to remain but would now wish to leave.

What is your preferred option?

Looking at possible options as to what should happen next over Brexit, there was an almost even split between those who favour leaving with no deal and those who want a second referendum.

Of the 978 people who answered this question, 438, or 45%, said they favoured no deal.

Meanwhile 452 people, or 46% said they fancied a second referendum.

The other two options put forward in the poll were poorly supported.

Only 35 people, 4%, want to go with the Prime Minister’s withdrawal agreement, while 53 people, 5%, want to see a general election.

So where does that leave opinion in Cornwall? While we can't draw conclusions too deeply, it appears to show people are still evenly split over Brexit.

The latest indication is that Brexit will be delayed. Legally, the UK leaves the EU on Friday but there is little appetite for a no-deal in Europe. EU leaders will consider a request by the UK for an extension at an emergency summit today, Wednesday.
