Do 80 per cent of Britons really want to leave the EU

Evan BartlettJan 21, 2015

TL DR No

The Daily Express leads with a startling front page today exclaiming that "80% WANT TO QUIT THE EU" in a boost for the paper's "crusade". In what it describes as a "the biggest vote on this country’s ties to ­Brussels for 40 years" the Express - whose owner Richard Desmond recently donated £300,000 to Ukip - claims it is "overwhelming" evidence.

What they fail to dwell on is the fact that the poll was carried out by two renowned Eurosceptic Conservative backbenchers - Peter Bone and Philip Hollobone - and another Conservative parliamentary candidate - Tom Pursglove - in just three constituencies in north Northamptonshire - Wellingborough, Kettering and Corby. “Eight out of 10 people who took part want to come out of Europe – that is extraordinary,&quot; said Wellingborough MP Peter Bone - long fancied to defect to Ukip.

The fact that 14,581 people took part makes it sound like a statistically credible poll. However, apart from the fact that it was carried out in such a small area of the country, the team had also handed out 100,000 leaflets. That means that only 14.5 per cent of people responded, 11,706 of whom opted to leave.
