A majority of Britons want to leave the European Union (EU), while a growing proportion of British citizens “have felt further removed from Europe” over the last 12 months, according to an opinion poll by London-based research company ORB International. On the other hand, the same study reveals that at the opposite end of the scale there is Romania, whose 85% of the citizens want to stay in the EU and only 15% would like to leave the Union.
Support for staying in the EU was also highest in Germany (72 percent), Finland (71 percent) and Spain (68 percent).
Across the 14 countries polled, 64 percent wanted to stay, unchanged from a year ago, though within countries such as Italy – where 42 percent now want to leave compared with 25 percent one year ago – there was an increase in opposition to membership.
In Greece, 44 percent said they would prefer to have their own currency, down from 55 percent a year earlier, while 43 percent said they wanted the euro, up from 33 percent a year earlier.
The survey interviewed more than 14,500 adults.
