The vast majority of Britons now want a referendum on EU membership

A new poll showed more than 80 per cent of voters are crying out for a referendum.

Nearly half of voters – 49 per cent – want their voices heard straight away, according to the survey.

A further third, 33 per cent, believe that there should be a vote “in the next few years”.
